At my previous munro completion rate, it would have taken me another 103 years to finish all of them. This is not good. I think the problem stems from doing only one munro at a time, so the obvious solution is to do more munros in one go! Looking at the munro map, various groups of munros became apparent, one of them being the Drumochter Hills west of the A9. Al and I did A'Mharconaich a few months ago, but we only did the one. I thought I'd head back up and give the others in the group a shot - Geal Charn, Beinn Udlamain and Sgairneach Mhor. Got some great weather, cool with grey clouds (but not too grey, at least until later in the afternoon), which I think is much better than warm sunny days when you sweat heavily and the flies keep attacking you. There's still a bit of snow on these hills - more than on Cruach Ardain last week - but only in depressions in the ground where it forms what looks like snow rivers, or in sheltered valleys, or on north-facing coires. Still, at least I got to do a (very small) amount of winter-ish snow walking, in mid-May!
