In all the challenge involves some 42 kilometres (26 mi) of ascent and descent, with total travel approaching 765 kilometres (475 mi). The challenge is usually undertaken starting with Ben Nevis, the highest, and for many the most distant.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Please donate generously to this worthy charity.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
