Climbed BEN NEVIS via the pony track with three other ML`s as part of a charity walk with 13 Cubs/Scouts from Whittingham Scouts. Ages were between 8-15 year old. Camped at Glen Nevis Campsite and ascended/descended via Youth Hostel. Rain held off on the way up, but rained hard on the way down, with 20-30 mph gusts. Group was split in three on the way down, to keep each group walking at the speed needed to keep warm and not stopping to wait on others. Some of the group were out for 12 hours.
