There are 283 Scottish mountains over 3,000ft, called 'Munros', almost all of which you can walk up. I've always fancied becoming a 'Munro bagger' as it seemed like a good way of seeing Scotland and getting some exercise. Most of the Munros are in remote areas and I just assumed I'd be out there on my own. However, just watched prog on BBC iPlayer and there are literally thousands of Munro baggers out there. Even in winter in the most remote Munros, there are dozens going up it in a line with umpteen cars parked on the nearest road. This has put me right off. Anyone on here got any Munro bagging stories?

You are unlikely to find any hill walkers in this forum mate. Think about it, if they spent all their spare time walking up hills they would not be on Betfair.

You might, if you are lucky, come across one or two.

To test how accurate this assumption is. Climb a munro and ask each person you walk past if they use Betfair.
