I was excited to hear on the Today programme this morning that another hill might be added to the list of Munros available for bagging. Alas, the BBC News website has now confirmed that the hill does not measure up to Munro status. Munros are hills with peaks over 3,000ft (914.4m), and Foinaven in Sutherland falls short by just 12ft (3.4m). Debate over whether Foinaven is a Munro or one of Scotland's 220 Corbetts has raged for a number of years., and this has settled the matter. The Munro Society was formed in 2002 and has more than 3,000 members who have climbed all of Scotland's current Munros. I wonder how many Infusion members have bagged between us?
