About this Blog
Having recently finished the Munros see link, I had promised myself never to get involved with ticking off hill lists again, however, a book on the Corbetts at xmas a few lagers too many and the decision was made.
What is a Corbett ??
What is a Munro ??
With the Munros I managed to get up north about once per month and averaged just over 30 Munros per year. Little has changed for getting away, so if I keep up the same frequency I should complete in about 7 years. (dec 2014)
One big change , in the last few years of Munro bagging, I became obsessed with having good weather, and some fantastic days were enjoyed see link and as such, I had to ask many big favours to get time off work at short notice etc. So with the Corbetts, I am having to arrange my trips in advance and will have to take whatever weather is thrown at me, so gone are days of blue sky, it's back to traditional Scottish hill days of driving rain, high winds and low cloud. Should be interesting!
As to the name "The Corbetteer" well, I thought I coined that name myself, while sat on top of Bienn Tarsuinn (letterewe), but far from it, not only has it been in use for many years, it also has a meaning "one who has completed" so maybe I should rename the blog to the "Wannabe Corbetteer"!
