  • In our most epic video to date, we climb Ben Nevis, Britain's tallest mountain. With the weather obscuring the views and adding to the struggle, watch as Fran and Jay attempt to hike to the summit 4413 feet above sea level.
    Ben Nevis, located outside Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, is the UK's highest point. Starting almost from sea level, hiking Ben Nevis isn't easy, so if you plan to try this yourself, please do your research first and prepare properly.

      I went up on Monday 4th Sep too 👍 I planned to go up on the Saturday but they were having the annual competition. An hour and a half up and down the winner ran it in, astounding.

    Nicely done, one to chalk off the bucket list 👍 I tried in March and could only get to the 2nd zig-zag because of the ice, the loch was frozen over. I went back a fortnight ago and got sunburnt. 😂 Felt good to complete the challenge though.

    Did you climb this 3 weeks ago? We must have been climbing around the same time if so! It’s gorgeous walk isn’t it? And I disagree with folk who say it’s “easy”, it certainly isn’t easy. It’s doable. But still a mental challenge if your legs are aching

    • @TravelSoGood
      @TravelSoGood  9 місяців тому +1

      It definitely isn't easy - Fran proved that to be true! This was actually filmed almost a year ago (late September 2022), I'm just very slow at getting blogs edited due to a busy work schedule!

    Wrong decision to leave each other - from both sides, that is an absolute no imo.
    You could try again another day on your own, but you don’t leave someone on the mountain.
    Fair play for making it to the top,but it would have been sweeter if you’d escorted your wife back down and tried again the next day.
