Route description: Ben Nevis by the Carn Mor Dearg Arete Munros included on this walk: Carn Mor Dearg & Ben Nevis Time taken: 8 hours Distance: 17.5km Ascent: 1506m |
MWIS was forecasting a greater than 90% chance of cloud free summits in the West, and a warning of sunburn ! Now that is far too good an opportunity to let pass by. However, given Walkhighlands estimate the route woud take between 10-11 hours and with a 2.5 hours each way drive involved the less appealing decision was to leave the house and make our way towards the North Face car park at Torlundy at 4am !
