The rules
The allocation of each Certificate of Excellence is done so based entirely on information which is publicly available on the internet at the time of the award date stated on the issued certificate. No privately-recorded or unrecorded achievements by others can be taken into account.
From 1st January 2018, Certificates of Excellence will only be awarded if all related High Point visits can be proven by Peakhunter logs.
Special note on "fastest time" record attempts.
We do not genearlly encourage "fastest time" record attempts for completing the Gribbon list of Ireland's major geographical High Points or any of its sub-lists. However, if a Highpointeer does set a new fastest time record, we will be more than happy to acknowledge the achievement on this page, on the condition that GPS data for the entire challenge can be provided confirming that speed limits were adhered to during all sections of the challenge where motorised transport was utilised. Any new fastest time record which involved the violation of speed limits during motorised sections will receive no recognition or acknowledgement on the High Point Ireland website. Driving faster than the speed limit is totally unacceptable, and could result in serious injury or death. Speed limits indicate MAXIMUM permitted speeds: please obey them at all times. Speed limits apply 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Every Highpointeer is responsible for knowing the limitations of his / her own physical and mental abilities.
