Was in at Loch Mullardoch doing the 4 on Saturday (3rd Aug)which I found pretty hard.🥵🥵 Not as young and fit as you Colin,lol.This leaves me 3 to finally compleat and have 2 weeks off work but the weather is going to beat me here.No way I am just ticking them off in crap weather so I will wait.Subcribed and hopefully see the end of ur journey Colin.😎👍🏴
Awesome work to get so many ticked off and fantastic to hear you've nearly got them all done. When you started out on this challenge I was so in awe of what is undoubtedly a monumental undertaking. You should rightly be very proud! Looking forward to your upcoming munro bagging video as I'd love to hear more about how you plan them (or even how you keep track of them!) .
Great video and congratulations on completing the round . . . what's next? Maybe just climbing and enjoying the spirituality of the hills without the pressure.
Sad how the whole munro thing has turned into a list ticking exercise with folk doing them as quickly as they can , its all just a social media/ego thing now. This guy cant even pronounce the names of the hills he's rushed around. True hill folk take years to climb the munros , learning the history and folklore as they go.
Having climbed my first Munro with my dad in 1952 (Ben Klibreck) and learned from him (and his library of mountaineering books) over succeeding years that the spirituality of the hills was what really counted, I too lament the fact that Munro-bagging seems to have become (for some) a box-ticking exercise . . . as has the climbing of Everest for that Instagram moment. I still get out on the hills at 77.5, both in my beloved Sutherland (where my dad was born) when I get over to the UK twice a year and here in Vancouver where I've lived for twenty years . . . where the mountains are higher but mostly tree covered!
True hill folk have the humility to realise that they are not the gatekeeper of how to experience mountains properly, that theirs is not the one true path, and that judging strangers motivations for enjoying the outdoors makes them sound like a tit.

It's a tough day at Mullardoch! Definitely worth waiting for better weather for your big day. Congrats and thanks for watching.
Another brilliant video, I’m so proud of you for everything you’ve achieved! 🥰
Thanks sis 💜

Thanks Dario - really appreciate the support!

Thanks! I’m going to do some more hill running and set some shorter-term objectives. I always like having something to aim for.
Great video and seems like some journey 🙂👍
It’s been a ride! Thanks for watching.
Great video!!! Love your TH-cam’s!!
Thanks Flora!
Why not just get to 281 then give yourself a 3 - 6 month window to get your final one. It's not a race.
Having got so far I was keen to do the final one, have the big celebration, and move on to something else.

To each their own, I say. There are many ways to enjoy the hills, all valid. I don’t speak Gaelic so you’re right that my pronunciation is off.

@@rogerwatt8491 Well said and I fully agree.
