Over 7,660 people have registered their completion of the 282 Munros peaks and a new record for doing them in a single, self-propelled round was set earlier this year by Jamie Aarons in 31 days, 10 hours and 27 minutes. Self-propelled means no motorised transport. Jamie's route covered over 2,570km in distance and 135,366m of ascent. She covered 1,315km on foot, 1,250km by bike and 11km by sea kayak, including the sea leg to and from Mull. An astonishing record that is admired by any Munroist and many others as well.
For most of us, completing the Munros and becoming a Compleator, takes years, many years in some cases. For each of us, it is a huge achievement. However long it has taken you, the Society welcomes all compleators to become members in their own right. Membership will introduce you to fellow compleators some of whom have also completed, or are actively completing, Munro Tops, Corbetts, Grahams, Donalds and other hill lists in Scotland and further afield. It will allow you, and usually your dog if accompanying you, to attend the regular meets held in Scotland, to attend the annual dinner (at which there is a pre-dinner speaker and a photograhy competition) and receive the regular Newsletter.
An application form for joining the Society can be downloaded from here.
The official record of Munro Compleators is held by the Clerk of the List at the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC). Having completed your own Round, you can register with the Clerk of the List via the SMC website.
If you are near to completing your Munros and would like to contact us about membership of the Munro Society or to find out more about the Society and its activities, including Mountain Reporting, please get in touch. We would very much like to hear from you.
