Climbing the Munros, Corbetts, Donalds and Grahams is by no means a race. However, it is a personal goal of mine to climb them all at some stage.

If I don’t think I’ll get a view from the top then I generally don’t leave the house - what's the point in standing at the cairn saying "another hill ticked" when the rain is dripping down your neck and all you can see is the cairn and your feet? I know this is the complete opposite of how many walkers view their hillclimbing pursuits, and I agree that it's good to get a fair mix of weather for experience, but...where's the fun?

Considering the percentage of good days versus bad in the Scottish outdoors, I don’t think I’m doing too badly. The graphs (see links on the left) give an indication of my progress to-date. I'm not climbing "just for ticks", but I've always been fascinated by statistics, and have maintained these stats since my first ascent.

A superb day on Lochnagar

We've just had a superb day on Lochnagar. The hill was busy as expected, but the summit was clear and we ahd excellent views. Bitterly cold wind on the top though!
Scottish Hils pages revamped
Posted by Jim Willsher on Thursday, 7th April 2005 at 10:06AM

I've made some changes to the Scottish Hills pages. You can now display the "proximity" information for all types of hills, and you can control the distances involved, e.g. just show hills within 20Km. You can also generate a PDF with this information.

Single hill ascents are also available as a PDF, and they now included details of ascended Tops where appropriate.
Hill Routes added

On the Hills pages (Munros, Corbetts, Donalds and Grahams) you can now group my ascents according to the actual trip. e.g. Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag can be displayed together.
Hill Proximity information added
