Piers' Munro Challenge - Completed!

The ‘Munros’ are the 282 Scottish mountains higher than 3,000 feet (914.4 metres). They were first listed by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891.
I started collecting (‘bagging’) them in 1987, and my total on 1 May 2017 was 234 out of the 282, so I had 48 to go.  Climbing the 48 remaining ones involved over 34,000 metres (115,000 feet) of ascent and walking a distance of 769 Kilometres (478 miles).  
​
We have raised funds to support our friends Mike (Medical Director) and Sue (Administrator) Hughes at Potter's Village Child Crisis Centre in Uganda.
My faithful Munro Bear went with me. On 8 September 9 family members and friends accompanied me on the final Munro, Ben Lomond. The total raised so far is £7,170.00; many thanks to all those who supported the appeal. ​
