During the summer of 2019 I hiked to the summit of all 282 mountains over 3,000 feet (914.4 m), termed as Munros, in the Scottish Highlands with my peak bagging boyfriend James. This was the experience of a lifetime – I relished in the planning of 95 Munro bagging routes. The result was a mixture of single day and multi-day Tours in the most magnificent mountainous setting.

Venturing out in all weathers, we hiked both on well-trodden paths and over pathless, remote, unforgiving terrain. River crossings made for an additional challenge and a handful of routes incorporated mountain biking with hiking. We embraced wild camping and bothy stays on 75 nights.

We enjoyed exhilarating scrambling on the Black Cuillin, Aonach Eagach ridge, CMD Arete and Liathach in Torridon, and endured brutally long but memorable hikes through Knoydart, the Fisherfields and the Cairngorms – where every footstep helped to crank up the overall kilometre and ascent total.

Here I share all of my Tours, together with summit Highlights, so that fellow peak baggers and hill walkers alike can use them as a planning resource.

    Ben Hope 3,041 feet (927 m)

    

    This mountain is the most northerly Munro in Scotland and we hiked to the summit on a really blustery day. Earlier that same morning we'd hiked up Ben Klibreck, the second most northerly Munro.

    

    Sadly we didn't get any views from the summit of Ben Hope but on a better

    Ben Klibreck 3,156 feet (962 m)

    

    This was a very windswept day Munro bagging in the far north of Scotland across pathless and rugged terrain.

    

    It's achievable for fit hill walkers to tackle both this route and the Ben Hope route in a single day as we did.

    

    The biggest obstacle to this route is

    Ben More Assynt 3,274 feet (998 m)

    

    This was a great Munro bagging day in the historic county of Sutherland in the north of Scotland.

    

    Starting and finishing the walk on the Cape Wrath Trail, we walked this route on a cloudy September day in the Scottish Highlands

    Seana Bhraigh 3,038 feet (926 m)

    

    This was a wonderfully remote walk to bag a solitary Munro.

    

    Some combine routes 4 and 5, maybe with a wild camp but we wanted to incorporate a stay at the Schoolhouse Bothy to the north.

    

    Approaching Seana Bhraigh from this direction involves a couple of river

    Here are five Munros that aren’t commonly walked together as many walk Am Faochagach on a separate outing.

    This was one of my most memorable Munro bagging outings.

    

    An Teallach is arguably the most dramatic and stunning mountain on mainland Britain. We were lucky enough to hike the route in the best possible weather conditions

    Ben Wyvis 3,432 feet (1,046 m)

    

    An isolated Munro, Ben Wyvis is most commonly climbed on its own from Garbat.

    

    I remember the lower paths in the woodland were full of mushrooms!

    

    This route takes you up via An Cabar (the south west ridge).

    

    Ben Wyvis has a good path so it's a great Munro for beginners

    South of the Fisherfield round, we climbed this Munro on its own from Kinlochewe.

    

    The views of Loch Maree from Slioch are enchanting.

    

    Your eye is pulled to awesome mountain vistas from all angles on the summit. To the southwest you can enjoy views of the Torridon Munros

    This was quite honestly one of the wettest days I’ve ever had on a mountain!

    

    On a good day, views of the Fannaichs over to the north east are stunning. But as the route is very non-technical, it’s often recommended as a Munro to hike on a poor weather day so that

    If the weather is fine, the Torridon hills is one of the best places to head to in all of the Scottish Highlands. I particularly enjoyed the view across Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair to the Triple Buttress of Coinneach

    This was one of my favourite hiking days in the north west Highlands. My face on the summit of the first Munro Tom na Gruagaich says it all!

    

    I enjoyed scrambling on the Horns of Alligin (up to Grade 1 with some exposure).

    This is another of my favourite routes in the Scottish Highlands.

    

    Starting and finishing at two different points along the A896, these Munros are connected by one of the most dramatic ridges in Britain. Hikers

    This was a surprising outing for me. We started off in the clag on the first Munro with limited views. But the weather cleared as the day progressed and I have some amazing memories of this
