Personal

Beyond my work, I have many other interests.

Since moving to Scotland, I have taken up the popular local pastime of ‘Munro-bagging’ (i.e. climbing the 282 Scottish mountains with an elevation of more than 914 metres/3,000 feet). I maintain a log of my progress in bagging the Munros and various other categories of mountains, hills, & islands here. I still have a long way to go!
