Sundown on Top of Ben Nevis
Snow on the summit of Scotland's highest mountain
I
canot tell the feeling on an evening like that. I can't say what it
means
to have best weather on top of a mountain after starting in fog and
rain.
You just have to do it. There are clouds to north-west and the best
scenery
to the south, towards Glasgow, Loch Lomond and all the other names so
famous
for rain. 13 years later I shall return to Fort William. And instead of
climbing Ben Nevis again my wife and me are damned to wait two days in
the worst possible weather, seeing at most the first two hundred meters
of the mountain. But today the walk is worth while. Seven days of walking through lovely glens and over boggy meadows, camping at lochs, accompanied only by the giantic scenery of the Crampian Mountains: This is Scotland at its best.
