Hill runner Manny Gorman has reached a milestone in his quest to run all the Corbetts after finishing the summits south of the Great Glen today.
Manny began his epic attempt to run all 219 Corbetts (Scottish mountains between 2,500 and 3,000 feet high with 500 foot of descent on all sides) in a continuous journey on foot, bicycle and sailboat on April 26th. Manny and his support team are using the Corbett Map on Walkhighlands to track his progress – the blue Corbetts are already bagged, the red ones still have to be run.
This evening Manny has now completed all the island Corbetts and all those south of the Great Glen. Today he ran Carn Dearg, Beinn Iaruinn, Cruach Innse and Sgurr Innse, finishing at Roy Bridge. Tomorrow he intends to tackle the peaks on the north side of the Glen starting with Ben Tee before heading up through Ardnamurchan, Knoydart, Glenshiel, Glen Affric, Torridon, Fisherfield, the Fannichs, Strathfarrar, Assynt and then the far north. He hopes to finish in under 8 weeks and is currently aiming for Saturday 27 June and a last peak of Ben Loyal. You can also monitor Manny’s progress at his blog.
