why 'compleations' ?
I am frequently asked why this apparent spelling
mistake appears unchecked throughout. Well, it's not a spelling mistake
! It's something that seems to be handed down for many years now.
Here's how the Scottish Mountaineering Club put it : "the archaic spelling
compleation is often used"..."as a nod both to Izaak Walton's book 'The
Compleat Angler', and a compliment to another noteworthy sport -
Munro-bagging". And once you 'compleat', you're no longer a 'Munro-bagger', but
are elevated to 'Munroist' status ! More information can be had at the SMC's
website : www.smc.org.uk
munro round compleations
Listed below are links to pages with a brief
description and photos of my last munro on each of the 13 rounds. I've also
joined some other people on their last munro, listed are some of these
enjoyable days.
