Gaining Some Height

I decided to group them, because let's be honest here, this is never going to be a massive section. One fortnight a year is not enough to make this section explode. Moreover, I have to mind the comfort zone of my better half.

So here they are: the Grahams, Corbetts and Munros we tackled over the years. For more info on what those are, please click here.
The basics are on this page. If you want to gaze at more pictures and/or find out about the (easiest) route, just click on the map. By the way, the duration of the walk, is an average one and not necessarily how long it took us to get to the top and back down again.
You can always find more information about any hill via the WalkHighlands website or on that of MunroMagic.
