Many congratulations to you both on your compleation. And on an epic hill too. Well done in leaving this for your last and not being tempted to do it earlier. What next? :clap: :clap: :clap:

Gefeliciteerd :clap: Well done and thank you so much for all your reports. My better half and I have a long way to go but will follow your example and be up there whenever the opportunity arises (obviously reading your reports first to make sure we avoid the pitfalls :wink: ) Have fun on your next challenge!

Congratulations Alan's brother-in-law! I'm only 45 from compleating... a 20 year labour of love! We had better weather than you guys when we climbed An Teallach, well until Lord B's Seat, and then it was down pour from there.

By the time we wound up at the Dundonnell Hotel for dinner in the dry, we found a party of burly men strolling around the bar in white towelling robes, bikers who had got caught in the deluge and presumably got irretrievably soaked. As the French would say, insolite!

Just like to add my heartfelt congratulations to you both, your reports and adventures have, and hopefully will continue, to be an inspiration.

A fantastic mountain to finish on, one that will last in your memories forever, I'll never forget it, not least for missing one of the munros, on what was truly wonderful day. I may get back to compleat on it, one day, maybe.

Congratulations - and again many thanks for such an informative report - I've started to dip into yours so often for all the detail and nuances of a route.

Well done - second time round?

My turn to add my congratulations to you both :clap:

A great hill to compleat on, but a shame you didn't have the best of the weather. I somehow knew you wouldn't wait anyway :lol:

Sometimes (most times) your reports leave me exhausted, but it's a pleasure to have met you both and to have walked a Munro with you too :D (ok, I was a little behind you both :lol: ) Maybe we'll walk together again sometime, but having seen a less than well weaslemaster leaving me standing on Quinag at the WH spring meet this year I suspect any walking we do together will be limited to a walk to the pub at some future WH meet :lol: :lol:

Looking forward to the next chapter in your adventure.......I'm interested to see how some of those Corbetts are going to be linked together to make multi hill days

Congratulations! Great report, too.

How on earth did you manage to do them all in such a short space of time?! And here last night I was in bed thinking "I wonder if I'll be able to do all the Munros before I'm 40..." (i.e. 10 years' time!) I should probably get a shift on...! :lol:
