Congratulations on compleating the Munros :clap:

It seems appropriate somehow that your last mountain was in clag, as nearly all the others were climbed in rain, snow or galeforce winds!! You've enjoyed quite an adventure these past few years and I have enjoyed reading all about them. Good luck for the second round :D

Well done Seana, sounds like a fun time was had by all :clap: :clap:

As things turned out I wouldn't have been walking anyway :( My knee problem has been diagnosed as a sprain & am not allowed out to play for at least a week. I was in Arnisdale & saw the couple you met head up into the clag.
Also had no signal on my phone on either Vodafone or O2 so couldn't get in touch.

Thanks everyone for your well wishings 8)

Dav 2930 - No more lists - Compleating means the freedom to never climb anything boring ever again. I really want to get a canoe so I can explore some watery parts.. Still working on Dougie though, and where we will put it in our already crammed 1 bed flat is somewhat of a problem! :crazy:

MalkyC - I fear Dougie has abandoned his round in favour of only doing hills which involve some kind of scramble. :roll:

AnnieMacD - I will no doubt go up from Arnisdale one day. Hopefully with better visibility. I have a few of the regular baggers routes still to explore - I've never been up the corrie to the window, or climbed any of the Glen Affric hills from Glen Affric for instance - So much left to do :lol:

2ManyYorkies - Come to one of the meets, then you will have loads of staggering partners :)

Jamesb63 - Back in 2011, I was dragged round the S Glen Shiel ridge, before I even knew what it was! The view south was staggering, we could see 100 miles, and nothing but mountains as far as the eye could see. I never thought I would get the chance to climb many of hem, but somehow I did. I imagine it will be the same for you :wink:

Congrats Barrie & Coleen :clap: :clap:

As ever Seana, a great read - the flavour of the company, the clag and the midges shone through - and I'm stuck with the picture of you tipsily waiving walking poles at all-and-sundry. Well done.

Pat came up with options for the next challenge - whichever would be quicker:

Go back to all those cairns photographed in the clag and get a clear one - or - go back to all those snapped with a view and get a claggy one.

If you opt for the canoe instead, will you be starting "PaddleHighlands" in competition with Helen and Paul?

I think I'll just carry on boring you all with tales of canoe and climb classics :lol:

Not sure I can remember all the summits I've seen, let alone whether they were claggy or not..
You are talking to the girl who quite often sees a walk report for a hill she has never heard of, only to find out that she has climbed it before :roll:
