Thank you!
That's quite a hard question. I enjoy a good good hill, regardless of how high it is!
I think that taken as a whole set the Munros have the edge, but there are lots of great Corbetts, especially north-west of the Great Glen and on the islands. There are quite a few Corbetts which are useful for shorter days, or when the weather isn't so great, and they have a wilder feel, with fewer paths and fewer people. On the other hand the Munros tend to offer better ridge walking, better winter conditions and more opportunities to link hills together (there are plenty of good Munro + Corbett combinations as well, which don't feature in the guidebooks very much).
Over the last 10 years, we've been consistently doing more Munros per year than Corbetts, so that says something, I suppose!
