Paul successfully climbs Ben Nevis!

The legs were certainly tired, and the knees suffered on the way down, but I managed to complete the task.

Seen off from Glen Nevis with the shrill of a bag piper, rather than add to the occasion, it seemingly spurred us on to get as far from it as possible! The return journey took about 7 hours. Visibility wasn't brilliant at the top, but below, the scenery was spectacular.

Thanks to all who have sponsored us.
