Many congrats from me and Kevin, too! An epic journey :D

I may get to 182 Ms this year (100 away) and Kevin hopes for 200 - if we're lucky with weather. Finishing still seems ages away... But maybe one day we'll get there... We also have the habit of repeating our favourites, Torridon hills in particular.

I'd be careful with "no more lists" claims though, Corbetts and Grahams are just as addictive as Munros :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks everyone, and it was nice to meet a friendly face on Saturday DP. Apparently BP was also in the area, but must of cycled past in the glen while we were up high :)

I never said no more lists ever.. Just not in the near future - Oh the joys of just doing whatever on a whim :D

Mrs S - Yes, quite a good route and I would recommend, although will probably be back on a clear day to do it from the front.. The views must be good when they arent hiding :?

Congratulations and Beinn Sgritheall is a good one to compleat with. Such a lovely hill. Go back in good weather to get the views over Loch Hourn, Ladhar Bheinn and the islands. Stunning.

I have taken ample notes about the coal and alcohol carried and consumed on this trip in anticipation of my own compleation in several years. I think I'll start stashing bottles away now :lol:

Finally getting around to reading this.

Still gutted I couldn't be there (even with the midge hordes and lack of views) but glad you had a blast.

On with the next adventures. Catch you on a scramble soon!
