Additionally you can record the mountains you have climbed in your own log, including date, time and your notes. The list of Munros dates from 1891, and 255 of the 282 Munros below, were on the original 1891 list; [2] while 28 of the 226 Munro Tops, were once Munros. [8] Climbers who complete all Munros in the prevailing Munro's Tables are called Munroists, and the first Munroist was A. E. Robertson in 1901; his is recorded as Munroist Number 1 on the official SMC list, which by 31 December 2022, numbered 7,390 names. [10] Munroists are eligible to join the Munro Society.

[32] These seven Munros are located together in Glen Coe Glencoe is another tourist hotspot in the Highlands and it’s (at least in my opinion) much prettier than the scenery surrounding Ben Nevis. Ordnance Survey also sell an all-in-one GPS maps device which is ruggedized, has a 30-hour battery life, supports multiple satellites and includes every OS map of Britain at no extra cost. I’ve seen one and have decided I must have one. As soon as my other half gives me the go-ahead that is.

Sir Hugh Munro himself never did complete all the ascents; at the time of his death he had omitted Carn an Fhidhleir and Carn Cloich-mhuillin (which was demoted in 1981 and which he was saving until last as it was nearest to his home). He never climbed the Inaccessible Pinnacle ("In Pinn") on Skye but this was not regarded as a Munro on his original list - being omitted in favour of the lower summit of Sgurr Dearg from which it protrudes.

The view from the top of the ridge is nothing short of breathtaking though, with superb views out to Loch Etive and even the Isle of Mull on a clear day. Ben Vorlich and Stuc A’Chroin The mountains in Scotland over 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) in height are called the Munros. Named after Hugh Munro, the first person to compile a list of them in 1891, there were were originally 283 Munros. Munro bagging" is the activity of climbing all the listed Munros. As of 31 December 2022, 7,390 people had reported completing a round. [2] The first continuous round was completed by Hamish Brown in 1974, whilst the record for the fastest continuous round is currently held by Jamie Aarons, who completed a round in 31 days 10 hours 27 mins in June 2023.

They make the most up-to-date and accurate maps of the United Kingdom. They have also produced a blog on the Munros. This is the 10th-highest Munro in Scotland at 3,980 feet (1,213.1 metres), but it’s one of the easiest to climb thanks to a car park situated halfway up it which offers access to a rough footpath to the top. The first person to complete a winter round (all the Munros in one winter season) was Martin Moran in 1984–85. His journey lasted between 21 December 1984 and 13 March 1985 (83 days), he walked 1,028 miles (1,654km) with 412,000ft (126,000m) of ascent. He used motor transport ( campervan) to link his walk. [73] This map is a great gift for a walking/climbing enthusiast whether they have never climbed a Munro or are on their second or third round! This is an inspiring map designed with the Munro Bagger in mind aiming to fuel their enthusiasm encouraging them to climb as many as they can!

There are two types of OS map which are either labelled OS Explorer or OS Landranger. Explorer maps have a 1:25,000 scale (where 4 cm on the map equals 1 km in real life) and Landranger maps have a 1:50,000 scale where 2 cm on the map equals 1 km in real life).

This was a surprise, as some OS maps show Maoile Lunndaidh to be 2m higher, so a second survey was carried out to confirm the finding.

Climbing mountains is an inherently risky hobby and while some Munros are easier to bag than others the fact is there’s no ‘easy’ Munro.In 1990, international fell runner and maths teacher Hugh Symonds of Sedbergh, Yorkshire, ran all 277 Munros starting from Ben Hope. It took him 66 days and 22 hours. This also included running the other 3,000 foot peaks in Great Britain. Having achieved this in the short time of 83 days, when his target had been a hundred, he decided to add the Republic of Ireland tops to the list and still finished all 303 peaks in 97 days.

This is a list of Munro mountains and Munro Tops in Scotland by height. Munros are defined as Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet (914.4m) in height, and which are on the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") official list of Munros. [b] [1] [2] In addition, the SMC define Munro Tops, as Scottish peaks above 3,000 feet (914.4m) that are not considered Munros. [1] Where the SMC lists a Munro Top, due to "insufficient separation", it will also list the "Parent Peak", a Munro, of the Munro Top. [c] [3] As of 6 September 2012, there were 282 Scottish Munros after the SMC confirmed that Beinn a' Chlaidheimh had been downgraded to a Corbett and as of 10 December 2020, there were 226 Scottish Munro Tops after Stob Coire na Cloiche, a Munro Top to Parent Peak Sgùrr nan Ceathramhnan, was surveyed at 912.5m and was deleted as a Munro Top and downgraded to a Corbett Top. [4] The current SMC list totals 508 summits. [5] Bidean nam Bian". Hill Bagging – the online version of the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH). 2019 . Retrieved 27 June 2019.
