Well done Martin, a fine achievement :clap:
Your thirst and hunger to compleat was very noticeable in your efforts and you perhaps deserve a rest, but I have a feeling you'll have a new goal in mind.........all the best in whatever it is, I've certainly enjoyed your Munro story :D

Well done Sir :clap: You know within yourself the only thing you can do now is CORBETTS :roll: So far I think its an even more interesting journey than the Munro`s. Whatever you do, Enjoy :)

Congratulations - I've enjoyed reading your stories, and this one is great :clap: :clap: Well done to you all for braving the weather - hope the bubbly didn't get too diluted!

As for what next - how about some of the long distance walks - The CWT and Skye trails are well worth a look (not that I've finished either but will do :lol: :lol: )

Well done Martin! But I bet you'll find it hard to resist the Corbetts. Harder than the Munros, and many of them are just as good, if not better. A proper wilderness experience - no crowds, no paths. And then it'll be Grahams and Marilyns, and then SIMMS and TUMPs and who knows what else? Honestly, compleating the Munros is only a start. Once the bagging bug sets in you've had it!

Anyway, keep that right foot hard down on the floor and see you in Ratagan???

Thanks to everyone who has replied I won't name you all individually as it would take too long :lol:

I really do appreciate all the kind comments and as for the question I posed, I have no set plan. I aim to tackle the rest of the Donald's over the winter months and visit some of the fantastic Munro's I never got a view from and that list is quite long. I will of course tackle some Corbett's but have no plan to 'bag' them all.

Once again many congrats to Pauline (5996) and of course to Gill yesterday :clap: :clap:

:clap: Congratulations! For the past few years I have been enjoying your photos and walk reports and wanted to say a big thank you. I never post reports as I can't take photos for toffee (there would be shots of feet, grass and fingers in front of the lens). I hope that whatever you decide to do next involves posting your reports here as usual. My Mondays at work would be very dull without them! Perhaps revisiting the summits that were clagged in first time round? That's my plan anyway and due to the weather we've endured over the years it will take me quite a few years yet to see every summit cloud free :lol:
