Out and About in Scotland update<\/h1>\n

If you enjoyed our Out and About in Scotland post last summer<\/a>, you might be interested to know that Anna Wells<\/a> has just become the first woman to complete a round of Munros (a mountain in Scotland with a height of over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) in one winter. Only 3 others have completed the challenge men.<\/p>\n

Completing all 282 Munros during the summer months is a big enough challenge it takes many people years to complete. Tackling them in the winter is particularly challenging with snow, high winds, reduced daylight and access causing more problems. However Anna has managed to overcome all the difficulties, followed safety advice (see the previous post) and completed the round within the astronomical winter, which starts on the shortest day and ends with the spring equinox.<\/p>\n

Now that the days are getting longer and the weather is improving you may be thinking about getting out and about more so why not take a look at the Out and About in Scotland post (July 2023) for some advice before you set off.<\/p>\n

You can use Library Search<\/a> to find books and articles on exercise and fitness.<\/p>\n

Whatever you are planning to do and wherever you are going this weekend stay safe and hopefully, the weather will be kind!<\/p>\n
