BLARNEY BANTER ON THE BEN






Another stunning day in the Highlands with the extended Winter conditions and beautiful sunny weather. Ruth, Heather, Peter and Davey were over from Ireland on their first visit to Scotland and what a treat they had on Ben Nevis. We went up via the Red Burn were the snowline was down to 800m. and there was even sections of hard neve on the way to the summit. On our way up we were watching helicopters buzzing about with mountain rescue going on all day, busy with at least 3 separate incidents, one involving 7 folk lifted off the hill. The 'Pony Track' was covered over completely from 900m onwards. Folk out enjoying the climbing and even skiing down the hill.
