P300m

P300-metre Peaks

This is an established lower prominence P-category offering a wide range of summits, some of which are the highest points of many of the world's lower uplands, with others in the higher ranges giving focus as part of a day's hike, or as diversions to bag extra peaks on the way to or from the main target summit of the day.

P300m peaks are a close equivalent to P1000ft for those that prefer to work in imperial units. The P300-metre peaks may well be found closer to home for those who live in the flatter parts of the world, as well as providing an interim level of progression towards the higher prominence lists.

There are estimated to be over 175,000  P300m peaks across the world.

This Table has a Hall of Fame and Progress Register, and also a Roll of Honour. 

To enter the P300-metre BwB Hall of Fame, you need to have reached the summits of at least 350 peaks worldwide.

Bronze Awards are given at 700 peaks, Silver at 1,300 peaks and Gold at 2,000 peaks worldwide.

The current P300m HoFMeister is Steve Smith

Steve lives in Suffolk, England - one of the most topographically challenged areas of the UK.

Steve started peak-bagging late in life.  Every year he tells himself, if he is still bagging in 20 years’ time, he will be happy.  He has been saying that for 15 years.

After completing all the 2000ft summits (Nuttalls) in England and Wales, Steve progressed onto Scotland’s Munros and the British Marilyns (P150m).

Steve’s main interest, however, is the Spain/Portugal P600m peaks, but he can easily distracted by the lower prominence Iberian summits.

Steve is a member of the Spain P100 Project team which has the aim of listing all of Spain’s summits down to P100m.  There are over 12,000 peaks, so it’s a long-term project.  Listing the P300m peaks is a more achievable medium-term goal, with 700 of just over 1000 already identified.  Climbing them may take a while longer!
