So, I completed the task of doing the highest Munro, Ben Nevis on 14th July 2012. This was my 6th Munro and out of the 6 I have done I liked this one the least, the path is brutal, very very rocky and the amount of people going up and down the path was just ridiculous at times .... however, it was a long walk up and I found it quite hard going at times, the weather was excellent although there was absolutely no views to be seen at the summit ... We stayed over night at the Ben Nevis Inn which is located right at the start of the path for the climb, brilliant place to stay and does very good food and drink, highly recommend staying here !!!
On the way up the mountain I met football legend John Hartson who was raising money for charity again, this is the 2nd time Ive met him, so that was a good photo opportunity. Well done John on another hard climb
I have started a facebook page on my climbs, please have a visit, thanks
