Ben Nevis!

Welcome to Scotland!


We we were lucky enough to be met by our great support team......




 who not just prepared food and drinks but set two teams, one half way and....




one at the top. It was a absolute pleasure being in such good care, making the third ascent feel much easier.









The views were breathtaking and around the corner after the halfway point, we cross a frozen waterfall. Stunning and a test of metal, as you try not to look down.

This picture doesn’t do it justice, the drop is heart thumpingly high. 





Continue on through varying step boulders, to shale, then into to snow. Quickly changing, like the weather. As the most descend, spirits did too. Slipping our way to the top, we push the last forty minutes of snow, grit(ours) and fears. 













The obligatory toast at the summit, to our team member who passed away early this year, Adrian. He was with us in spirit, we were very emotional and he is so greatly missed. He would have been instrumental in getting us through this challenge. 











Cancer is a indiscriminate wanker. Onwards to Ireland, two to go!
