Denis's Last Munro

A still and sunny summer day
Four walkers fit were on their way


To climb a distant peak so high
They set off up the track all spry


The Bounds were Rough, the hill was steep
An unrelenting pace to keep


Till on the nearest peak they stood
A weary but still happy brood


Garbh Cioch Mhor the next
Up which our weary muscles flexed


Our way was guided by a wall
and Rum and Eigg were viewed by all


The mist was swirling round the top
But to the Chanter's Pass we drop


Sgur na Ciche reached at last


The evening light on Denis cast...


These words were not included in 'The original text by Denis,' but I am sure that everyone would echo these words: CONGRATULATIONS DENIS!

Your determination to have a view from the top of every Munro may have seemed impossible, but you have proved that the sun really does shine on Scotland's mountains!
