Country High Point #1 – Scotland – Ben Nevis (1345m)

My 1st country highpoint was Scotland, this was part of my National 3 Peaks Challenge and it was the first time I had climbed Ben Nevis.

I won’t go into major detail on this one having covered it above, but an amazing weekend overall.

You can see the route information and hiking data below.

A nice out and back route and not too difficult overall.
