Ha-ha! Well done!! Imagine FF, I hit my 50% on exactly the same day, a bit further south (Lawers range). I had no time to post my TR's yet, been out climbing all week...

Are you now counting hills "backwards"? I caught myself calculating "how many left to do" now :lol: :lol: :lol:

20 years to get half way? You didn't beat Kevin, he took 23 years from no. 1 to no. 141! But to his excuse, he repeated two thirds of his already ticked M's with me, so I could catch up with him. Now he's 175 into the 1st round and about 110 into the second one :lol: :lol:

Congratulations! From 1 to 98 in 19 years - to half way in 1 year – walking 3 days on the trot. What’s next? I know where you are headed for: compleation in a year or so! :D And that was you thinking to relax at 100....

Hi Martin, well done on reaching 50% :clap: It's taken me 40 years to get to 63 (that must be a record in it's self) and I have'nt done 50% of your 50% yet :lol:
If you fancy any of those "pointy difficult ones" next year, give us a shout.
