It has been well over a year now since my last post. Not an awful lot has happened in the way of munroblagging, however, life has delivered it’s constant ebb and flow of highs and lows in the interim. I have no need nor inclination to go into all of the detail as most who know me know my stories through real-life or social media, but I will reflect on some of these moments in future posts as more posts arrive in the future.
I have made new friends, revisited old friendships, and I have lost some dear friends and family too. The normal sequence of life and it’s everchanging landscape continues in perpetuity. Everything is in flux. What comes into being will soon cease to exist, impermanence; our one and only constant.
But now to the summit avoidance. I have added only four in these months, I have also added a couple of new partners to my Munroblagging; my old climbing buddy Danny has now joined me and will no doubt feature in future attempts, George also. George and I have had some days in the hills in the past and also started to climb indoors at the climbing academy in Glasgow. My son Calum and daughter Ceri have also kindled an interest in climbing and it has been a thrill to be able to climb with them and share what little knowledge I have accumulated.
So, here are the last four:
