Sir Hugh Munro - 150th Anniversary

[Newsreader]

I just found out that today, 16th October 2006, marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sir Hugh T Munro.

I also found out that his home was at Lindertis, and so his nearest munro was Driesh, which is practically in my back garden

That's reminded me to get me boots MOT'd and ready for some Munro bashing !. This probably only means the obligatory trip up Ben Lomond .
Are there any munro bashing activities planned to mark this ?

The only thing I've seen has already passed They wanted peeps to bag munros this past weekend, and then some folk met up to do Driesh yesterday to celebrate the actual anniversary. I wondered why there were more cars than usual in the car park for a Monday

You've not seen my landy

It's probably for the best that I keep fit, I may be glad of that sometime when I've got to walk home after it's broke down/fell over

Hmm the most I have managed round here is about 500m (which ain't much really seeing as I live at 270m!) and then I started feeling a bit funny - altitude sickness? I must get fitter, I must get fitter ...

Hi Bernie, finally got around to checking out where Angus Glens actually is. Not long to go now (102 days until we're leaving Australia and arriving in Forres). Seems like I'll be passing your way fairly often as I will probably be working in Edinburgh.

Keep me posted on the Munro attempts. I've been threatening my boy with some real exercise in some real weather....
