Annual reports M-W:

Annual report: Alison Wilson

The year started on a high (643m) note with Creag Tharsuinn (19C) on 1 January 2002. Brilliant day, fantastic conditions, apart from treacherous road en route - not too much gritting done at 8:00 on new year's day. Another favourite was Druim Fada (10D) - fantastic viewpoint.

Islands can be relied on for good hills, such as Sgurr Fharaidh at the north end of Eigg - would have liked eyes on the back of my head to make the most of the great views on all sides.

Shortest: White Meldon (28A).

Longest: Meith Bheinn (10D) but well worth it, a glorious day if somewhat hot and dehydrating (that great week in early May).

Least sensible: Meikle Says Law (28A) with borrowed map so old it didn't have grid numbers, so GPS was rather pointless.

Another enjoyable day started on Carn Daimh (21A), the day of the Queen Mother's funeral (as my radio kept telling me) and I was up on this lovely hill appreciating my solitude while millions sat in front of TV sets or lined the streets of London. The Bochel and The Buck both proved easier and quicker than expected and rounded off the day nicely.
