    Hiking Carn Mor Dearg Arête Part 3

    Arriving on Ben Nevis
    It was quite a slog getting onto Ben Nevis from the arête. It was about 220 meters of boulder clambering. When we got to the top at 1344 meters we had our second Munro of the day. There were hoards of people up top. We slowly made our way back on the tourist track which involved descending 1340 meters. When we got to the bottom we grabbed a coke and then walked 3 km into town where we had dinner and drinks and then went back to our B&B to get ready for tomorrowRead more
