Re: When can you claim the Munro

Good luck with your completion Munro in due course - which Beinn Fhionnlaidh is it? They're both good hills, particularly the Etive one. The Appin one. I’m making an event of it and can’t imagine many friends making the trek from Glen Affric. (Was looking at an old map of that area and it’s amazing ...

Re: When can you claim the Munro

On a side note, your Avatar says, Munro Compleatist, but the Munro count is only 281, I'm sure this is an oversight, not trying to provoke an argument. Don’t know why it’s got me down as a compleater. I’m one off (Beinn Fionnlaidh). Not doing it for CV purposes or faking anything - just been doing a...

Munro Map

As you approach completion, the WH map starts to look like the worst election night in history.

Carn nan Gobhar - in Praise of Wallflowers

No-one has much to say about Carn nan Gobhar. Overshadowed by more charismatic neighbours, it is either perfunctorily visited en route to higher things with a brief mention of its rough flanks or staggered over, more dead than alive at the end of an epic trek around the Mullardoch badlands. Looking ...

Re: Hoad Hill, Ulverston

If you go on a Sunday, you can go up to the top of the monument and get a much better view. It was restored a few years ago.

There is an easy path up from Ford Park which goes diagonally across the craggy slope which the monument stands.

Re: 6 Outlying Fells and a Marilyn

The Ulverston-Coniston bus goes past the starting point if you want to make a linear walk of it and haven’t got two cars. Park up in Ulverston, get the bus up to Torver Beck and walk back. The Cumbrian Way will take you into town - or finish at the Barrow Monument (which you can go up on Sundays)

She's not making a very good job of putting that tent up.

Re: When is enough... enough?

Does a hill have to be in a list to be worth climbing? If you drop the height and reascent thresholds, not only do the totals go through the roof but the ratio of worthwhile to not worthwhile shrinks to minute proportions. Forget lists, by all means look at what's on your doorstep without the aid of...

Re: Marsden to Greenfield over Black Hill

Black Hill is the only top I know with a patio on it. The tour riders will also miss the excellent pub in Holme village.

Prepare to be amazed, I was up it at New Year!


And you didn't do a trip report ! It's the only hill I know with a pub at either end.

Wonder if the manager of the Aonach Mor café will respond to this one?
