DESCRIPTION OF ROUTE:
Ben Nevis, Tourist Track. Night Time Ascent.
We left the car park just outside the youth hostel at 10:45pm and made our way up the tourist track the path is pretty obvious to follow and occasionally when we reached the zigzags the cloud would come in and out. We reached the summit in just over 3hr and had perfect conditions and a great view of the setting and sun rising. We then followed the same path back down passing many 3 peaks challenge groups. We arrived back at the car at half 5.
