Ben Nevis & Glenfinnan

We tackled Scotland's highest mountain and in doing so apparently completed the 'National 3 Peaks Challenge' (we also climbed Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales). Some people even do this in 24 hours 😱. Since Ben Nevis is the highest of them all (1345m) we knew it wasn't going to be easy but when Miel discovered that there was an alternative, even more challenging route to the top, including a ridge scramble, his mind was set. It turned out to be the best choice because we were almost alone until we reached the crowded top. Unfortunately, Miel twisted his ankle again in the last kilometers (this time so hard his hiking boot even tore 🙈).

We deserved a rest day and drove to Glenfinnan to join the hundreds of Harry Potter fans admiring the Jacobite Steam train crossing the viaduct 🚂. We took a dip in the icy Loch Shiel and found a beautiful spot to admire the sunset and spend the night.Lue lisää
