2. Ben Nevis

A quick Wetherspoon's brekkie and we were ready to tackle the second peak of the challenge. Standing at 1,345m in height we knew this would be a long morning out so set off as early as we could. After a mile or so, some rain came in but it quickly broke and we were treated to some stunning views of the valley below. The route was nice and snaked around surrounding mountains before zig zagging it's way to the top. As we got higher the temperature dropped quite dramatically. A quick stop to help caler put his gloves on (and try not to elbow him in the stomach) and we pushed on to the summit. Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side and visibility from the top wasn't the best, but we had a good appreciation for what we were missing. Thankfully our Travel dad (Elmo) took plenty of decent photos for us to steal and call our own. We ran most of the way down and it was nice to open the legs out a little. Another quick pub lunch and we pushed on down to Cairn Ryan to catch a ferry to Northern Ireland. The drive through to Glasgow was beautiful and along the way we discovered the special transporter wave. We made it to the ferry terminal with about 2 minutes to spare, which was great as it meant we had time for a quick guiness (or maybe 2) in Belfast. Another non-stop, ace day 🤙🏼Read more
