M*nr* baggers links page. |

Mid October!
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 its 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
