Girls just had some really disappointing news tonight. Ben Nevis trip is likely cancelled next weekend. The weather is still too extreme. It's still icy at the top. An experienced climber who only made it half way up this week told Chris, my step daughters partner who would be our guide that you would need serious winter gear and crampons to reach the summit :-(
I am being guided by him as has recently come out of the royal marine commandos and knows the terrain well. Pamela is still keen to get as high as we can but I don't think there would be any sense of achievement in that. The hotel is booked the dogs are booked into dog care...we may still go away but I would rather climb another Munro and reach the trig point at the summit - and feel I had bagged another Munro.one I've not climbed before...
I'm pretty gutted. I was hoping to start training for a 10k in September after next weekend....
I really wanted to do that big boy in a small private group. Hey ho. There is a McMillan cancer hike up in June I may just register for that...safety in numbers I suppose
Hope everyone is good xxxxx
