Hiya everyone,
I’d love to meet people interested in bagging some munros with me.
I’ve taken a year off from my job to travel Scotland in my campervan and tackle as many munros as I can :D I’m 35 female, fit and relatively experienced at hiking, though not in winter (yet). Thanks to the van I can be flexible on when and where, and I generally try to follow the good (/less bad) weather around.
Let me know if you fancy meeting up for some walks!
Ashley

I’m not up as often as I would like to be, work commitments hamper me being on the hills most weekends.
That sounds ace, a year doing that is an amazing adventure, fair play to you.
I’d be happy to join you one weekend and hit a munro or two, weather permitting!

Hi Ashley,

That sounds like a fantastic way to spend a year! I'm hoping to be up in Scotland around Easter & definitely in the summer if you're still there & hiking. I'll be in the Cairngorms for at least part of the time.

Hi Ashley,

Your plan for the year ahead is an incredible opportunity. Depending where you are and when I would be interested to tag along with you. I’m 34, male, based in lothians area, so far completed 34 Munro’s and a few Donald’s/Graham’s. Only really hike in summer so no winter hiking experience. Work shifts so not too restricted on availability.

Awesome! I think I’m only on 42 or so munros so still got many to go. Let me know when you fancy a walk! I can start posting on here when I’m planning a hike (tho often I don’t plan too far into the future).

Just let me know when you’re thinking of going a wander and we’ll get one sorted 👍🏻

Weather looks great tomorrow, I’m aiming to head out - maybe up An Caisteal / Beinn a Chroin. Let me know if anyone fancies joining.

Sorry Ashley only just seen your message. That’s a great walk, hopefully you get some great weather for it. Unfortunately I’d probably be into next week now for a walk

Ah I’ve actually done those two already. I was thinking about Ben Tulaichen / Cruach Ardrain for tomorrow maybe.

I will be doing a few this year as well Ashley, more than happy to meet up and tackle a munro or two.

Also organised to do some organised climbs where we'll be camping out on this hills, which I'm really looking forward to :)
