Munro at AllExperts (956 words)
Sir Hugh Munro's original list, published in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal in September 1891, listed 538 summits over 3000 feet, of which 283 were regarded as "separate mountains"; the term Munro applies to the latter, while the lesser summits are known as tops.
Munro did not set any measure of topographic prominence by which a peak qualified as a separate mountain, and much debate has since taken place over how distinct two hills must be if they are to be considered as two separate Munros.
Hamish M. Brown did the first continuous self propelled round of the Munros (except for the Skye and Mull ferries) between April 4th and July 24th 1974 walking 1,639 miles (2,638 km), 150 km of which were on a bicycle, with 449,000 feet (137 km) of ascent.
