I had a week off earlier in July and the wife and I decided to try and take one of the days off to do a bit of Munro bagging.

Meall Nan Tarmachan – WALK REPORT – May 2021
Hands up here, I had so much fun on this walk, that I forgot to take a lot of photos. Throughout the entire walk, I took a grand total of two photos.

10 Things I Love about Munro Bagging
A slightly self-indulgent post this one, focussing on what I believe are the biggest plusses to Munro bagging. If you are thinking about starting, you don’t need to set out with the intention to climb them all. I certainly didn’t, but beware, when you start, the bug is soon to bite and it can become a bit of an obsession…
