I'd like to point out that I have been a member since the spring of 2001. I changed my name here from peakbagger to foinaven in December of last year. I have played almost 1500 games on this site - most as peakbagger.

Can I have some recognition :-)

Regards,
Paul Riordan

Paul, how could you ever doubt that you deserve recognition? Or that I would forget you?

Since you were in Class B during the last month I did this, I reserved a paragraph just for you.

Take a look at this: "Spotlight on Class B" the "Anniversaries" section. This was written back on 8 Oct.

I made note of you, and the mountain you named yourself after!

Lon,

I missed that posting - thanks!

For me, Foinaven is one of the most beautiful mountains in Scotland. I climbed it way back (1993), have nearly 200 scottish mountains under my belt and a around 50 between the Alps and The Pyrenees.
