A few Munros

After a long day's walking in Scotland, I've chalked up 4 Munros (mountains over 3000 feet).  I climbed Creag Leach (987m), then the highest, Glas Maol (1068m), followed by Cairn of Claise (1064) and Carn an Tuirc (1019m).  Despite the rain/hail/fog, there were (intermittently) some incredible views.  A few days before I climbed Dunkery Beacon on Exmoor, giving me another 520 metres.  I am therefore now on 7,371 metres, 1477 to go!
