Ben Macdui, and on my 57th birthday. Only 2 more for my 200th which will be around Crianlarich at Easter, conditions will dictate which. PS. Now 60.

Most people just slot number 100 after 99 and before 101.

....you could try bucking the trend though. :lol:

Revisiting a months-old thread here.... :?

Beinn Eunaich for me. Bagged it (along with Beinn a’ Chochuill at No. 99) in early August.

Not a particularly spectacular hill to notch 3 figures, :? but a simple, pleasant enough day out, none-the-less. :)

Quite claggy on the way up, but as soon as I’d left the summit of the first, the clouds parted and I got superb 360degree views for miles.

Seems rather apt that this thread has reappeared as there were a few that reached the ton over the weekend including myself.

My 99th & 100th were on the Loch Lochy duo.

A nice double there Lightfoot2017, glad you got the views on the second hill :D

:lol: :lol: I had to check out Stac Lee, I had never heard of it, but just watched the video on the TR ! Now that would be something!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: Oldies rule OK! Buy the way I loved Beinn Starav, one of my favourite hills :D



Guess everyone has heard of Stac Lee now Rob Woodward has at last completed the Marilyns by bagging it and the other really hard St. Kilda stack. Congrats to all who had their ton up this year.

Mines was Bein Chbhair a couple of weeks ago. Its taken me almost 30 years to get this far so i've decided to hammer them in over the next couple of years and hopefully complete by May 2015. I could almost say I regret the number of repeats i've done, but the truth is I have enjoyed pretty much every day in the outdoors (admittedly some only on reflection!).

Congrats on your ton, Arthur :clap:

Should that be 2016? :? Or do you really hope to do 182 Munros in 7.5 months? :shock:

Come on there Essan, you must try harder, how could you stop before the magical 100, this year maybe? :D


Stayed tuned ....... there's a possibility I may just manage something later this year :)



Just to update - I managed one! First this century :lol: So just 2 to go .... May soon have to start thinking seriously about what my 100th should be!
