The Hall has increased slightly from 42 members in the previous year to 49 at the end of 2012. There are still many eligible members of the Marilyn Upper Hall who have not yet committed to Humps, but I look forward to them eventually seeing the error of their ways.
There were no events quite on the scale of 2011's triple entry into the Hump Hall of Fame but a couple were celebrated with a reasonable turnout.

Several others had hoped to organise a gathering on their landmark hills but failed miserably. Rob Woodall's 2800th was too remote for anybody to get there; Douglas Law was too impatient and did his 1200th a few days before the big completions weekend in Glencoe in August; whilst Colin Crawford and his party were defeated by mud and rhododendrons on his planned 2400th.
