Ben Nevis


I have decided to walk Ben Nevis in June on my Birthday, the above image was created with Memory-Map and is a map laid over the elevation for Ben Nevis, so basically you can see how steep it is with the other mountains in the background.

I am intending on taking a different route to the normal "Tourist" one and will walk over a couple of other peaks as well. You can see the route I'm intending to take in the image below. Click either of the pictures for a larger version.

I think I better start getting off my arse in preparation as its gonna be a long steep slog. Not like Scafell Pike where you start off quite high this route starts just above sea level.

I have always wanted to walk up "Ben" but one of those things you say but tend never to get around to doing. So decided to do another thing on my list ;-)

The route above was quickly drawn out, will be done more accurately before I do it. I have the week of my birthday booked in for holiday and have looked at camping in Fort William for a couple of nights. So I can stay the night before the walk and the night after. Thinking about staying an extra night and possibly going to Skye.

You never said Sunbeam, you said that primrose wishy washy thing. I'm sure that bathroom colour was never in!!

Oh and you posted the comment on the wrong post.
