David's Hillwalking Pics 2023

Hills. The Munros (click here) are all done, so this is Corbetts on this page,

and Fionas (nee Grahams) (click here) and cycling and distilleries?

2022 - 15 Corbetts and two Grahams (plus one repeat)

2023 - Ten Corbetts four Grahams and four Donalds. So still 59 Corbetts left and plenty of the others. Going to take more than four more years at this rate but maybe before I am 65 is realistic?

2023 started with a two Graham trip near Loch Lomond, to do Beinn Chaorach and Beinn A'Mhanaich

In February we had a boys trip to FA and headed up Meall Dubh. Great trip, thanks for the pics.

Come April I got a couple of nights away at Loch Arkaig to do Beinn a Chabhair, Carn Mor, and Sgurr Cos na Breachd-laoigh, which was excellent.

The following weekend I didn't fancy a big drive or overnight, so did the Dun Rig Graham in the Manor Hills. It was a bit bland, but a long walk!

In May Sharon and I spent five nights in Glenelg, and I got out a couple of times to do Sgurr Mhic Bharraich and then Sgurr an Airgid. A couple of good walks. And the weather gods smiled again and I got a night in Glen Affric to do Aonach Shassuinn and Cairn a'Choire Ghairbh.

Then nothing until the end of July when I had a chance to head up Beinn nan Imirean one Sunday - just a quick one to hopefully get back in the swing of things. Then at the end of September I had to go north for work, so took advantage by heading up Bac an Eich. And at the end of October I managed a day away to do Meall Mor at Loch Katrine.

	All the Corbetts I have done :-
	According to Mark's 1996 book there were 219 Corbetts, but I know Beinn a' Chlaidheimh was downgraded from a Munro in 2012 (after I had scaled it), and Sgurr nan Ceannaichean was downgraded in 2009 (one I still need to do). Wikipedia, Steven Fallon, Munro Magic and I therefore all agree 221 is the total number I have to do.
