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!

Walking

I began my fundraising walks on Tuesday 7th October on Dartmoor.  I collected 5 Tors: Great Links Tor (586), Sourton Tors (440), North Hessary Tor (517), Bellever Tor (443) and Laughter Tor (420).  The whole day's walking amounted to about 12 miles (I'm afraid I drove between sites...)  Added to Munich City Hall (85), Ljubjiana Castle Hill (66) and the Acropolis (156), that puts me on 2713 metres, leaving 6135 of the 8848 to go...
