the 1997 Munro list !

 

New Munros ~ New Munros ~ New Munros ~ New Munros ~ New Munros ~ New Munros

The SMC announced in July 1997 that 8 new Munros were to be added to the list:

 

every now and then the list of Munro's is changed
(or in official speak revised)
sceptical people would say this is to sell more guide books,
others would say this is because of changes in measuring techniques

In truth its probably a combination of both,
also the exact height difference between a Munro and other hills on the ridge has always led to controversy.

 

The new additions to the 1997 Munro list are

One old Munro was also "deleted"
as not reaching the "standards" required to be regarded as a Munro
 this is : Sgor an Iubhair in the Mamores

so far, I have climbed
four of the "new eight"

and
the one "deleted" Munro
 Sgor an Iubhair in the Mamores

 

 

thus there are now 284 as opposed to 277 Munros.

as there is no guarantee that this will be the final revision to the list
