John Henderson and Alan Whatley only joined the Hall of Fame in 2011, so their 2012 totals show their determination to keep going, while Ted Jackson has soared in with a summit-powered leap. Lionel Bidwell's commendable total for 2012 brings him straight into the Hall of Fame. And look at David Milbank, he may not even be in the Corridor, however, if he keeps going at this pace, he will be in the Hall of Fame within three years and the Upper Hall of Fame within six years.
Interesting to see so many couples in this list - the Coventrys are the double-mad baggers of 2012, followed closely by the Salter/Hatfield duo and then the previous year's top couple, the Hasties.
Michael Earnshaw has been consistently mad-bagging with large totals during recent years - however, he will not be able to do that any longer, with Marilyns at least, as he has only got 34 left to do.
As for that chap with 205 - just ignore him.

you are going to succeed by climbing the last ten metres.
