I've climbed Ben Nevis!

Fabulous weekend 7-9th June in Fort William with Bernie.
Flew to Glasgow then drove through the highlands up to Fort William via Loch Lomond.

Saturday - set off at 9.25am - plenty of stops to catch breath, snack and take pics.
Summit at 2.10pm
Snow covered.
Beautiful.

Luncheon.

Started descent at 2.45pm - it was fine at first then it got tougher and tougher. Scarred I'd fall, legs really hurt going downhill. Finally back at the car by 5.30pm. Collected Bernie from visitors centre - she got down 15-20mins before me.

Hotel for a swim.
Pizza place for food that evening. Very early night.

Back to airport via scenic drive through highlands, detour to Glencoe and a snooze at Loch Lomond. Fabulous weekend,

Monday eve - thighs and calves still ache!

Snap of Loch Lomond plus one of the views from Ben Nevis.
