On 1st May 2015, Club member Graeme Morrison made his way across to the Isle of Mull, in the company of Penny TWD (the Wonder Dog), to embark upon his fourth round of Munros and Penny’s second round of Munros. It is Graeme’s intention to complete this round of Munros on the 8th August 2015 i.e. within a period of 100 days!

Graeme is posting up a daily blog for Club members on the Club’s Facebook Group. Graeme’s first blog entry follows:

Day One, 1st May 2015, Ben More (Mull) and Beinn Sgulaird

“Started the day with a hearty fried breakfast before setting of at 7.40 with (TWD) and Alan Duncan weather couldn’t better blue skies and perfect grippy neve snow from about 650m, summited at 10am with stunning views . A quick descent lunch at the van and off to catch the 13.10 ferry back to the mainland, said goodbye to Alan then headed down the Oban road for my next objective , parked at Elleric and set off at 3.30 , did a route change as there looked like a log of snow up high and this was a steep ascent, got to the summit at 5 20 and there was a few light hail showers on the way so didn’t hang about , went down a different route (mistake) there was even more snow and all soft and wet but got down eventually in one piece. Drove to Oban and had fish and chips, now off to find my parking spot at the start of tomorrow’s hills.
TODAYS TOTALS 13.38 mls, 1,945 m ascent.

Best wishes to Graeme and Penny on this fantastic endeavour. Hopefully Penny will be the first dog to complete two rounds of Munros and the first dog to ever complete a continuous round of Munros. Truly a Wonder Dog.
