Usual more adventures to new hills, keep the numbers ticking along steadily
Loving the Grahams alongside the Corbetts (inside last 50 now) just adds to my planning enjoyment
Hopefully get couple more awkward logistical trips done with OBC - Jura / Rum / Poolewe
Mid May - Ullapool Lads week organised (10 of us and 3 dogs) - so Arkle, Canisp+Breabag, Cul Bheag, Glas Bheinn+Ben Stack, Ben More Coigeach/Sgurr an Fhidleir/Beinn an Eoin , Sabhal Beag, Carn an Tional+Beinn Direach on my radar.
5 Corbetts and 7 Grahams would be good 8 days if weather kind and new Westie "Cody" fit and able.
couple of relaxing Bothy weekend trips thrown in - Beinn Bhreac and Beinn Mholach either side of A9..
looking forward to campervan trips with Family, friends and usual juggling in wee hill outings...
May even manage to arrange family summer holiday to Wales with obvious wee detour to climb all Welsh Furths.
Local Ochil/Lomond outings to get Cody into hill shape - managed his first Graham on 4th Jan no problem bouncing through the heather, 4.5 hr outing.
Few wintry Grahams with pals will keep system ticking over until lighter days.
If all goes well, will be left with my majority of Corbetts outings south of Great Glen. Weirdly enjoy doing all the hard far away hills first in my pursuit of proper adventures . last Munro Ben Vane at Loch Lomond for example. In no hurry though as remember feeling sense of disappointment when compleated Munro's in 2009, life goal done what was i going to do now, during Munro's was not interested in Corbetts etc. Now enjoying more organic hill days as long as somewhere new or new route.
First time I've written my yearly plans down, looks quite exciting, cannae wait.
