was up ben nevis once ansolute awful weather.
but i got about twenty minutes where i could see for miles.
was away for a week did four mountains only good weather was 20 mins on ben nevis.
went across this very narrow ridge must have been a thousand foot drop on either side.

was away for a week about 15 yrs ago,did four mountains inly got 20 mins of good weather as i neared the top.
walked along this very narrow ridge,must have been a thousand foot drop on either side.
could see for miles when i got to the top.

Ben Nevis is definitely on my list for next year, even if it's "only" the tourist route 

Did it while at school, about 148 years ago (or so it feels) but didn't get a view from the top so would be nice to maybe get luckier this time. Love seeing photos taken on this hill.
