So you have popped a diamox and have dared to venture above 914.4 metres above sea level. What, apart from hordes of deranged baggers await you up there? Unlike the Corbetts and other so called lesser hills, there are quite a few resources for the dedicated M*&%^ bagger. Many are just lists, but there are a few goodies. Enjoy!


 

HighScotland is great idea. Its simply a links page to pictures of the Munros . Virtual bagging is fun and it’s also a good jumping off point.

Scotland Online was a great site a few yearas ago, but is now really only a repository of the quality writing of its heyday. A centre of resistance in 2001, wortha view for historical reasons. May it rise again oneday.

  Scotland's Mountains , by Gavin Shaw is a collection of photographs of some hills, well kent or otherwise.

  Memorable Munros is a most enjoyable account of a Munro campaign, with some detailed accounts of routes. If you want to know what you are up against read this.

This was a groundbreaker.. Munro diaries are everywhere nowadays, but in 1996 this was one of the few. Author: Paul Kennedy.

Antony Dyer's Munro (and other hills)diary is an account of a fast accumilation of those big lumpy things. Added bonus is a Norwegian Section. Author Anthony Dyer. Still going strong after many years.

The Munros . Yes the SMCoids are about to unleash an online version of the CD rom. I wrote that back in early 1999. Still does not look like happening though.

Munro Magic Must visit sitw with the famed pronounciation guide. A must bookmark.


 

Other resources:

 

  The Scottish Mountaineering Club. The listmeisters.
It will not be too long before they move the Munro's around (If they do, read about it here. (BTW I tip Carn Glausaid for the chop).
They realy ought to link in Sub3000 though. Maybe if I relaunched it as Sub5000.

  All baggers are recommended to read The Angry Corrie. Meet Murdo and friends here. and you can record your compleation of the Corbetts.

  Instead of going for that mighty tick, you spend the day cowering in a bothy. Get depressed and political. Meet the Mountain Bothies Association.

Weather. I find this German site gives you the charts you need. Wetterzentrale.de
