We arrived to Fort William on Friday evening and the weather could not have been any nicer (even though the weather forecast was grim - heavy rain and strong wind). Not a single cloud in sight, ideal temperature for a nice hike. It will be a great day tomorrow!!!
And it was....but not for long. 2 hours into the hike we were surrounded by black clouds and it was clear we are heading for an absolute misery. At best steady drizzle, at worst heavy rain and wind so strong, I am not sure how did Katie & Anna manage to stay on the ground. People coming down were warning us there is still a lot of snow on the top but we persevered. Despite all the bad luck with weather Katie & Jack made it to the top and me & Anna gave up 500m from the top. The way down was simply horrible, slippery, cold and long. "I am never coming back to Ben Nevis" concluded Anna, as this was her second time here and both time bad conditions.
Yes, it was no fun at all, but we had 6 hours of strenouos walking and covered 1400 hight meters in that time. Completely soaked and frozen on the way down to the pub for a hot bowl of soup. Surely Morocco must be warmer and sunnier (or we for yet another surprise?!).
