I must have 37 Wainwrights to do - 14 in the North West and 23 in the North - leaving Binsey for a precarious last minute finish.
I'll set the target at 10 Munros again and see what happens - I want to work on them a bit more seriously once the Wainwrights are done, so I need to get in practice. And maybe if I aim for 5 Donalds I'll manage it...
A reapeat of the island summer, to some extent - I want to get back to Uist and Harris, and I'm hoping to get to the Small Isles. I'm going to Sabhal Mor for a week again, so maybe something on Skye, and maybe another bothy night on Islay while I'm in Tarbert... I doubt I'll beat 2018's 11 islands, though.
Years ago now I walked the Pennine Way as far as Horton in Ribblesdale, so my plan for Easter is to pick up from there and go on to Alston. That'll get me a handful of Dales and North Pennine Hewitts, and I'd love to get back to Wales and do Cader Idris. I doubt I'll have time for anything else in England after all the rest!

Oh, and the last 4 New Donalds that I still have to visit.
Beyond that to just keep regularly knocking off Corbetts, Grahams and Sub 2000s throughout the year.
.....but if I still haven't compleated the Munros by the end of [replace 2018 with] 2019 I should seriously consider hanging up my boots
Saves typing it all out again
"Three Munros........just three Munros....." said I at the start of the year..........and I finally managed them back in May

Managed to tick off the four remaining Donald tops too, which finally put them to bed. Slightly disappointed with my Corbett and Graham progress during the year, so they will be the focus of 2020 (hopefully)

Attempt the newly discovered Marilyn Beinn Dearg near Cape Wrath.
Have already booked a cottage in the lakes, so hopefully a few more Wainwrights
Am staying somewhere good in May, and have sketchy plans to climb something interesting for my 80th.
A lot depends on whether husband's knee improves..(.he has put in for a new one) and/or I feel mean enough to go and do stuff on my own.....
Have my new boy so starting back at 0 with the Munro's! First year I had Moss we did 20 so he has a high target to beat that...at the moment though I'd really just like to get him to be a nice, reliable, trustworthy hilldog Yeah, I'll keep dreaming!
I'd like to do Ben Nevis via the CMD, but that will just be me and Moss if we go for it, and Lochnagar because if we get those then Moss catches up to me as they are the only two I've done that she hasn't.

I will also try and polish off as many Marilyns south of the Central belt as possible, only trouble - they are either in the south west or west.
2019 hasn't been the best year for escaping to the great outdoors, ended up 32 Munro's short of my ambitious target - I blame the weather.
The good news is I managed quite a few Marilyn's, end result only 6 left south of the Central Belt.
