Reading about the recent incredible record for the fastest ever Munro round (under 32 days) got me thinking.
There is no chance of me (or possibly anybody) beating that.
However...
What is the record for the slowest compleation?
This would have to be the time between the
first ascent of your first Munro and the
first ascent of your final Munro. Later ascents of your final Munro on further compleations would not count.
I climbed my first Munro (Ben Nevis) on 1st June 1981 at the age of 21yrs.
I am now 14,349 days into my round, having just Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill on An Teallach to go for compleation.
I can see 282 from my house and I hope to be able to climb it from home (possibly cycling to the start).
How long did you take for your first compleation?
If I am quite close to the record then I could delay my compleation accordingly. I had planned to finish on my 40th year of bagging. However, at the age of 61yrs, I can't risk leaving it too late as the knees or other bits might give out before then.
Does anyone have any information as to my target time or can I claim a record when I do compleat?
