mgmt! wrote:well what can i say mountain thyme ? a big well done thats what :clap: :clap:

when i said i,d take you up a few, i didnt expect it to be a few hundred !!! it just seemed to snowball, but done them we did, in hail, rain, sun and snow. bothies, bunkhouses, tents and more. we done solo hills, doubles, trebles and that mighty eight in a day. i think you only had one real mone, the long day with the massive hail shower to finish :crazy: . on saturday you finally completed, what took you so long ? i finished last year mt :lol:
the wee party on top was the least i could do, for you put up with me for so long, pity you couldnt have kept up with me !!!
so enjoy you break in spain and good luck in whatever challenge you next take up :).

im away to lie down, you actually paid me a complement for once :shock: . maybe your still emotional :lol: :lol:
.


cheers mgmt! 205 munros together actually... just counted them.... and there was only one time that i moaned.. and no wonder..10 hours on Sgorr Ruadh, Beinn Liath Mhor and Maol Chean Dearg.. river crossing after stripping... heavy heavy rain, then gusts of wind 70-95mph ,then heavy snow, followed by hail stones,.... who wouldnt moan ?? i remember it well

thanks again for the surprise jimmy and the pressents :D

dooterbang wrote:what a fantastic day on your last Munro...the sun shining and surrounded by those who matter, dosnt get any better.

Thanks for introducing me to (not so wild) camping after our Knoydart trip, and thanks to MGMT for leading us over The Forcan Ridge...i enjoyed both walks with yous guys.

It must be a surreal feeling to compleat the Munros, but one to be proud of. As MGMT states you have been on some crazy adventures in all weathers...takes resolve, stubborn determination and motivation to keep going...and you proved you have what it takes. Always plenty of Banter kicking around which is part of the fun, es[ecially with Monty around.

Well done MT - Maryhills number one burd!!


Cheers Doots... we did walk in all weather conditions.. hence the reason we got there so quickly... i could count in both hands how many nice days ive had in the hills..so that made up for it...
Banter always there! haha .. makes the walk more enjoyable. Enjoyed your company too! if you need someone to help you get round the hills quicker give me shout auld boy :D

Congratulations :D . Not much time wasted there - I'm sure you were on the Glencoe meet with only 80 or 90 done at the time!
