June saw us head even further north up to Scotland, with a non-stop drive to Fort William! We wanted to get Ben Nevis (the UK’s highest mountain) under our belts before a trip right up to into the highlands. We camped for 9 nights, battled the Scottish midges and survived to tell the tale. There were many highlights to this training trip including Clare falling down Ben Nevis, Jon falling down Ben Nevis, hiking 5 miles to the remote peninsula of Scoraig, getting lost on An Teallach in a huge storm and having the entire remote camp site to ourselves! A trip I’d love to repeat again and again
