A Day On Ben Nevis

Robinwood Staff on Ledge route today

The Robinwood Activity Centres Staff team had a great day on Ben Nevis today. They split up and did the CMD Arete, Tower Ridge with Tony Halliwell and Ledge Route with me. The weather was great, it was cloudy on the Ben, but the UV got through the cloud to give us a good glow (burn) by the end of the day.

As usual on Ben Nevis the scenery was stunning, and the rock perfect (nearly). I found it great to be out with a croud of like minded outdoor instructors.

The team enjoyed some nav from the top of the route, up to the summit of Ben Nevis. Unfortunately when we got to the summit, visibility was a little too poor to see the croud of people making their way across the Tower Gap below, so we left them to it and met up with them later.

The mist lifted from the summit only for a few fleeting seconds when we were there.

We had a great day, and there was an enormous number of tourists at the summit doing the same. We took the track down happy after another day on the Ben.
