Climbing the highest mountian in Scotland!



My dad, my brother and I were able to take a 10 day trip together in Scotland. On this trip, besides visiting Hadriens wall, Lock Ness, and visiting several castles, we were also able to climb 'Ben Nevis' which is 4,406ft (1,344m) high.


As you can see, it is cold, misty and almost snowy at the top, even though it's the 26th of July. That is why my dad and I are all bundled up!
It took six and a half hours for us to make it up to the top, I wasn't sure if my dad would make it up to the top as he is 59 years old.
On the way down we took a "short cut" down the steepest part of the mountain, almost sliding down with the rocks for an hour.
But we are still in one piece! TYJ!
