without a gentle stroll up Ben Nevis at the end.

What is this life if, full of care.....We have no time to stand and stare?
See? im so very tempted to stick around and climb ben nevis....it was tough enough doing a three week trek to everest then not being able to climb to the top of her.

but Ben nevis is do able? but annoyingly i looked into it today and at the higher altitude everyone is wearing crampons and proper climbing gear...sadly i just spent 135 pound on some leather meindl walking boots but they are not crampon compatable
