Wow, there I was checking the latest Scotland walk reports and the last thing I expected to see was one of mine pop up
Thank you very much! I've done a few more solo Munros since then, some good some bad. Ben Chonzie (no 13) on my own I loved, Meall Chuaich (no 23) I enjoyed, recently An Socach (no 36) I liked, but Meall Ghaordaidh (no 24) I totally got the fear and didn't do another Munro, solo or otherwise, for a whole year afterwards! Depending on my state of my mind, Munro adventures can either help combat my anxiety or they can totally fuel it.
I also realised I missed quite a few comments on this report, which is probably very bad etiquette, sorry
So thank you for these, and sorry I didn't see them 4 years ago! Much appreciated:

I had done a lot more munros than you before attempting my first solo, but you will remember this day for maybe the rest of your life. I admire your bottle, good luck with next climbs and take care! Mountain people normally look after mountain people on the hill at least I have always found that, and long may it continue. Brilliant first report, a lot better than my first efforts, that's for sure, I look forward to the next one.
