By a ridiculous 5ft, and insufficient gradient to make the grade of mountain status.
It makes you wonder how many other lofty hills are in the firing line of the O/S zealots.
Its almost as if certain officials are going out of their way to demote once majestic mountains into a mere hill
Glyder Fawr became a 1000m monster by less than 2ft.
This measuring method, for a mountain to be demoted into a mere hill, is a bit pointless.
We all know Fan Y Big, is a mountain, why should a measurement prove otherwise.
Height should never really be the issue, a mere 5ft difference in elevation, to demote a once majestic mountain into a hill.
Now if it had been 100ft, well maybe, but 5ft, leave the mountains of Wales alone.
We can call them hills or mountains, its their sheer presence on the South Wales skyline, seen as far south as Pontypridd and the valleys.
We know their mountains because they tower over everything around them.
