Jim's Final Munro

I have finished the Munros ...

19 years, 7 months and 21 days after I first reached the summit of Cairn Gorm I completed my round of the Munros, and became a Munroist, on 19th May 2007 when I reached the summit of Ben Chonzie. The weather was foul, but 9 of my friends joined me on the summit to celebrate.

I have been assigned Munroist Number #3806 by the SMC.
