Big Ben, 4 September 2013

Summit day, or rather double summit day for some of us!  The main group headed up the Ben Nevis tourist track, while three of us scaled the ridge.  Up on Carn Mor Dearg, we actually had a view, and a rather splendid one it was too - worth all the planning.  Of course, there was a cloud covering the top of the ben itself by the time we got to it, but no change there!

There were some very tired people on the way back down, but we all made it safely back to base having rendezvoused on the hill.  An exciting day out and, oddly, for those of us who did the adventurous route one of the easiest ascents of Ben Nevis that we could remember, although that may just be because we had plenty of variety and weren't getting bored on the pony track.

Back to the hostel for very hot showers and very malty Scottish ales to follow.
