The lack of pictures at the top of Ben Nevis is doing some storytelling here
Took these snaps on the way up Ben Nevis the other week. 7 hour round trip with some snack stops. Sore legs for a few days after but very much worth it.
It’s a lovely walk. Well worth the time. When I went last there was a guy with obvious physical issues, massively overweight, bruised legs (sign of gout) who was determinedly making his way to the top because he had decided to turn his life around, quit drinking and get fit. Everybody seemed to rally around him. It was great to see. I’m sure he got to the top.
Amazed that you managed to take a picture without a hundred other walkers in it, that was my experience walking up Ben Nevis.
Done it twice and found it a super boring walk, however it is majestic once on top – assuming you have visibility of course 🤣
The CMD Arete is the route I’d always recommend. So much more beautiful and almost no one on the path. Takes 9-11 hours or so. Absolutely brutal but really gratifying.
It’s been 50 years since I made that trek. There were no paving rocks in those days, just a muddy trail with loose shards on the steeper sections. Looks much easier now.
