Munro Planning

Hubby takes this job very seriously. We always have our next trip semi-prepared so that when we get a weather (and time) window we can head off at reasonably short notice. The next area we're researching is around Shieldaig and Torridon on the west coast. There are about 11 Munros in that area, and so he prepares the walk information and maps and I will look at accommodation options.

Good that he takes it seriously as I guess there is a bit of risk taking involved.. Look forward to seeing the shots..

[Diana]

That seems to be the only way to do it, great that hubby is so involved. A lovely shot of the planning preparations.

[Sporen Maken]

Great team effort! I love to prep for some serious hiking!

[Valerie Chesney]

You are a great combination & so enjoy your trips together.

[Frank]

Good planning and team work.

[Wylie]

So very organised.

We were just the same when we hiked the Kerry Way in Ireland! Meticulous planning of altitude, ground, mileage and places to eat and sleep and dry the boots!

Just did my painting today - still on the 100 day challenge and sent it to hubby. He laughed and said "very Scotland only not as wet as it is here!" 😂😂. https://365project.org/artsygang/365/2022-04-13

Love the photo, pen, map, and guide book it tells the story. Had to look up Munro. Some of them look challenging. Which ones are you planning to hike/climb?

[Lin]

Great composition.

@tosee We're on a mission to do them all - 282 of them - before we're 70! We're almost a third of the way through. We've just done 7 in the Ben Lawers range in Perthshire. As we've done all our local ones, we try to group them now and do a few over a 2-3 day period!

A well planned trip!!

[Judith Johnson]

You're very committed walkers, and I see that your book is very fat. Are you aiming for a record?

[Pat Knowles]

A good trip always needs an organiser! I expect it’s part of the enjoyment for him too. That is a big fat Munro book…..well leafed through no doubt! I like to be organised too…

[Tunia McClure]

love the composition

[Islandgirl]

Great storytelling photo, so nice to work together on organizing a trip!

[Kathy]

You make a good team. I look forward to seeing more scenery from your trips.

[Shutterbug]

Oh my that is quite an unusually thick guide. I see that Munro are defined as specific to Scotland. Are you planning to do the whole book?

[eDorre]

Cool organization shot!

It is always a good to be prepared

[Issi Bannerman]

@busylady No records, they've all been set!!! Just a personal challenge to finish them all before we're 70. The difficult ones are coming up on Skye in September.

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat He always says it's the best book we ever bought. It's very thorough and accurate and there's an accompanying website where you can keep a note of your completed Munros.

[Issi Bannerman]

@shutterbug49 Yes, it is a Scottish thing! We are planning to do them all ... if we're lucky ... we've left it a bit late in life, but hopefully not too late!

Preparation is a very important ingredient for a successful journey. I'm a little jealous ...

I love this project of yours and although I can't physically go with you, I love the pictures. The book looks really awesome for both planning and accomplishing your goal.
