Hillwalking day with local youth group, organised as one of several practice walks before their planned trip to Ben Nevis. The group are well motivated and generally pretty organised on the hill, making it a straightforward day out, with plenty of opportunities to refine and enhance their hill skills. One of the girls felt a bit unwell and had to descent early, but the remainder of the group comfortably made it to the top of Ben Vorlich. Great to see young people enjoying themselves out on the hill.
