First two Munros bagged

Climbed my first two Munros this week

Very pleased with myself!

For those that don't know what a Munro is, look here: Munro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was down in Crianlarich with my friend Andy, we did Ben More and Stob Binnien.

Weather was excelent, relatively low winds (considdering waht you can get up there), no rain or snow and despite being cold it was managable.

By rights we should have had crampons, it really would have been a lot easier and would probably have taken about an hour less. It was verging on being "quite daft" being up there without them, especially on Stob Binnien.

Photos to follow. I've also got some GPS data I've still to process, see if I can get some usable maps out of it.

Three panoramas I took:

From about half way up Ben More.


From about 3/4 the way up.


And on the summit.

Only 282 more to go
