Ben Nevis


The Cadets and I headed up Ben Nevis today. We split into two teams with Alec leading one group and me leading the other. It had snowed heavily in the night down to about 500 meters and this slowed down our progress. My group made it over 3000 feet and we then made the decision to head down in white out conditions. Alecs group were ahead of us and had to break trail in fresh knee deep snow to the summit. We all enjoyed sunshine for the final part of the descent and some lovely views across snow capped peaks. Well done to all of the Cadets as they all worked hard in difficult conditions.
