100th Munro celebration
It was too wild on the summit to contemplate celebration, so we set up the 2 man bothy at about 2500ft on the way down, where we found some relative shelter.
With so many people having done the munros these days, it may seem a bit low key to celebrate a 100th. But I don't expect or plan to do them all, because I don't get up to Scotland that much, and also there are too many good ones that I want to do again before I would prioritise doing those I have not done. Also, it's a worthy celebration because it's taken me 30 years to achieve..!!
A few stats, for those like me who love this stuff:

A few stats, for those like me who love this stuff:
First munro - Stob Dearg on Buachaille Etive Mor on 23 Feb 1981 with Michael Simpson
50th Munro - Spidean Mialach in April 1987 with John Shepherd
80th Munro - Garbh Chioch Mor in May 1992 with Jim Rutter
100th Munro - Meall na Teanga in March 2011 with Simon Fox
You'll notice the decline in rate...and I did infact gain 6 new munros from upgrades in the late 1990s.
