Almost 7400 people have compleated at least one round of Munros - why is yours special?
I've compleated two already - my first round was with my partner, Andy Taylor, in 2013, when we did them all in a year. My second was with my dogs, Pirate and Hope. This time, I hope to compleat all 282 Scottish mountains - with a height of at least 914.4 metres (3000 feet) - in a non-stop, self-propelled round and in the fastest time. Donnie Campbell, of Inverness, set the fastest time of 31 days, 23 hours and two minutes in 2020. Libby Kerr and Lisa Trollope took 76 days and 10 hours in 2017.
How many days do you hope it will take?
My tentative start is May 26. Donnie's incredibly quick time is my target and I'll push myself hard. However, I'm realistic - a lot of things need to go right to set a new record and I only have 45 days of leave from work!
