[edit] Use of the term "British Isles"

I know the phrase is controversial in some quarters (see discussion at British Isles (terminology)) but as it's the most common by far I felt it reasonable to use it here. There's not (yet?) any discussion in this article of hillclimbing in the Republic of Ireland, and although the Channel Islands are not geographically part of the British Isles, nor politically part of the UK (which is why this is not "Hillclimbing in the United Kingdom"), I can't really call the article "Hillclimbing in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man"! I don't think there is a perfect and universally accepted term, so if any Irish readers feel aggrieved I can only apologise and say that it's the best I could do.
