Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg

Ben Nevis is the Highest Mountain in Scotland and the UK. Carn Mor Dearg means 'great red peak' and is the 9th Highest in Scotland.
I took the tourist route up Ben Nevis and it was pretty busy. I went up quite quickly to avoid the tourists only taking about 2.5 hrs. It was pretty much an escalator.
At the top it was the usual complete fog, visibility only a few metres. Freezing as well, there was still snow up here.

I was gonna go along a ridge to Carn Mor Dearg but because it was so foggy it took ages to find the thing.

There was supposed to be a route down from it but couldn't find that either.
Eventually i emerged from the cloud layer. It's always a relief to lose the uncertain feeling that i might get lost and die of hypothermia and starvation.

Then i met this sheep. They warn you about feeding meat to sheep cos people feed them ham butties then they get a taste for meat and sometimes attack and eat people.

Nearly stood on this little dude. That's why you should stick to the path!

The views from the top were stunning as usual.

Further down, the cloud cleared a bit.

I went straight up the side of the ridge by the big pond. On the way up, I saw a plaque commemorating a woman called Stevie who had died on this ridge. I've read quite a few people die on here.
Near the top, the path completely disappeared and i was crawling up scree and steep grassy banks.

At the top i could see the ridge, it looked a lot more difficult from up here.
I started walking, everyone i went past was walking the opposite way and was with a guide. Reinforcing the idea that i might die. Most people would say things like take your time, or be safe. It was actually really slippery. I think because there's so much moisture, moss and algae grows on everything. Also all the hand and foot holds were really worn cos this is a popular route.
This has been the only day so far where the top hasn't been completely covered in cloud.
It was totally fine in the end. The way down was a lot more straight forward.
Next time i'd start at the opposite end, then go back across it and down the way i came up.

These kids were camping in the car park. The weather had been horrible all night and i could see them wringing everything out in the morning. They didn't even go up the mountain, jus drove home.

I didn't go the normal way up. Wish i had done though cos it took 8 hours and it was the hottest day i'd experienced in the UK this year.
On the way i asked this guy for directions. Unfortunately he was severely over friendly and gave me multiple options followed by descriptions of each. I was like, "just tell me which way you're going and i'll go a different way". He then proceeded to follow me anyway. Luckily he was quite slow and i managed to get away.
