Ben Nevis - Finally:
Ben Nevis has been one of those little checkboxes in life that has escaped me every time I was going to do it something got in the way etc.. etc... So as the saying goes you haven't failed till you stop trying!
With that in mind I was just recovering nicely from last years knee injury and decided it was a beautiful sunny day so it was time for me to give it a go. Well I finally managed it and here's some of the pictures :-)

| views on the way |
 |
| this landscape seemed oddly out of place |
 |
| I will leave it up to you to figure out what was going through my mind when I saw this |
 |
| I hadn't realised how much I looked like a pirate! |
 |
| Almost the hottest day of summer and still snow |
 |
| walking in snow in sandals |
 |
| On the edge |
 |
| The climb was worth the views |
 |
| Almost at the summit!! |
 |
| Plaque at the top |
 |
| that top of the world feeling |
 |
| The summit and trig point |
 |
| On my way down |
 |
| this little fella followed me for a while (something to do with the bread I was throwing him) |
 |
| nearly done |
Well another tick in the box, it was a great day amazing weather you couldn't get a better day to climb Ben Nevis, I am glad i never made the trip all those other times, fate was obviously waiting to give me that special experience!!
