A Walk Up The Ben


Today I was working for Abacus Mountaineering and I was walking with 4 Belgians up Ben Nevis. They had just completed most of the West Highland way, and wanted to finish this stage of their holiday with a trip up the Ben. They had exceptional weather for their week of walking, but unfortunately on Thursday, the day started with rain - and carried on like that! The views were poor to non existant - these few shots were taken in the few glimpses that came our way.


We managed to get to the top after 5 hours, after starting at about 9am.


After a continental style picnic at the top, at 2.30pm we set off down again - reaching the car park at about 6.30pm. Everybody was happy, and a little tired by now. They set off to have a meal in town and prep for their jounrney home on Friday.


I packed a few bags and set off to Aberdeen in the evening to meet Alison for the next week of work. On the way past I took this photo of the Ben - with more visibility than I had seen all day....
