Twenty-eight new UK Marilyns for the year, which beats 2000 and 2001 combined. Also 14 new Irish Marilyns plus a host of repeat Corbetts and Munros. Highlights among the new Marilyns:
Mickle Fell: wild walking on a safe Monday. Long way to the trig but it's unmissoutable.
Mullaghcleevaun, County Wicklow: especially the mind-boggling acre upon acre of soft peat on the traverse to Tonelagee.
Knockboy, County Cork: proved yet again that if you stand there long enough the clouds will clear.
Pabbay, Harris: the day after the Shiants. At five minutes' notice, we're on the boat - more Vital Spark than RIB. A mere three hours at the top admiring the views. Great looking at Ceapabhal, and within five hours we're on that hill looking back at the isle.
Roineabhal: last day on Harris and a pilgrimage in case Redland Aggregates strike back. Longer on top than to climb - one of the week's themes. Views of Kilda and Rum.
Mynydd Enlli: information on how to get there is so vague that arriving is a big relief, but well worth persevering.
Moelwyn Mawr: on top at 7:20 to beat the advancing storm. Views vanished by 8:05. What an elegant trig.
Ulva, Gometra: toyed with taking bikes but in the end had just enough time to stroll out to Gometra and back over Beinn Chreagach. Splendid views of Bac Mor and Staffa. And a Telford church into the bargain.
Ben Griam Mor / Beg: avoided the snow being dumped on Klibreck. Managed two tricky crossings of the burn in between. Added Beinn Stumanadh after a night round the fire in Achnanclach.
Rubers Law: ended the year in the Borders, narrowly missing a pheasant shoot.
