First half hour killed me FairPlay to you mate, forget how long it took, you done it and that's what's important, it takes me 31/2 hours to walk my dogs let alone get up a mountain, it's another tick on your life list 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The begining part through the woodland was clammy as hell and my asthma started giving me jip but when we got through that it was better with a breeze . In the Ben Nevis Inn now with a vodka coke and a roll up feeling chuffed to bits. Quite easily my biggest personal achievement ever bar the usual (kids etc). Off to weathersoons for food and drinks in a bit Might try bring home a Scotland football top for my boy if I can find one for sale anywhere 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,999 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't say the way up is picturesque but the last leg really makes up for it. At one point on way down we stopped to look at the view because it was clear and theirs forests, huge lakes , stunning scenery all around. It made me quite dizzy looking at it because their was so much in view your eyes just couldn't take it all in or comprehend it. At the top my balls were twitching like f**k with people sitting on the edge casually eating when theirs a endless drop below their tip toes Brother in law took this picture Theirs better pictures but they haven't been shared , I'll add more when I get them Edited June 4, 2018 by Welsh_red 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sport's direct in high Street. Or bottom of high Street look up you will see a cable car it's just for show. Well there a shop there called Nevis port . Might get one there.. I know they have Scottish rugby tops so imagine they will do footy ones. Go upstairs . The ground floor is climbing gear and winter jackets. That cost a fortune lol Bare feet! See c**ts like that they should be left if they get into difficulty! Guy last year lost most of his digits cause of frostbite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
