LONG DAY ON THE BEN

Another cracking day with bags of warm sunshine and light winds. Today I as guiding a group of friends and family up Ben Nevis. Deepa and co were ascending  The Ben for charity, raising funds for incubator units at their local hospital as one of the family and her baby had  tragically died last winter. The group did well considering their lack of walking experience but unfortunately a couple of ladies struggled, hobbled and painfully descended the Pony Track and we had a very long and drawn out descent. But everyone made it back to the Ben Nevis Inn and they were still smiling.
