Three seasons in the Highlands

[RB51]

Thanks for sharing Jock, looks like a beautiful part of the country that you live in. About how long a hike is it to the top of Ben Nevis?

Great photos Jock. You know here in north Idaho we have four distinct seasons...

Early Winter, Mid Winter, Late Winter, and Next Winter.

Cheers!

Reminds me of some of our Canadian weather...ten months of winter and two months of poor sledding!

How long to get to the top? Well assuming you are not wanting to hurry and you go up the path(it is very rough in parts)then you should allow about 3 to 4 hours to reach the summit. Be warned, like all mountains, the weather can change in an instant, so go prepared.Just so you know, some of the runners competing in the Ben Nevis race do to the summit AND BACK in just less than 2 hours!
