Progress inevitably continues to slow, with it being several hundred miles from Milton Keynes to my nearest unclimbed hills. I spent five weeks in Scotland, concentrating mostly on Corbetts (195 now done). Highlights included dodging forest fires on the flanks of Cul Mor in May, my 1000th Marilyn Beinn Shiantaidh, done while running the Jura fell race, and battling storm-force winds on Cairnsmore of Carsphairn on a Christmas trip to Galloway. I am looking forward to trips to Mull, Ardgour, Arisaig and Shetland in 2012.
Outside of Marilyn bagging, I finally got someone to drag me up Pillar Rock and so completed the English Nuttalls and shortly afterwards the 541 Birketts. Humps are keeping me busy in England and Wales, with my favourite so far being a birthday ascent of Carnllundain on Ramsey.
