Story
We did it and Joe's written a poem about the experience:
Ben Nevis is
Ludicrously long
Super steep
Helplessly hard
Terribly tiring
It is rocky like a rough, raging Rhino
And is GINORMOUS like a giraffe.
It is also taller than a tyrannosaurus rex.
BUT
It is incredibly exciting
Fabulous fun
Amazingly awesome
It also has a breathtaking view
But the best thing about climbing Ben Nevis
Is when you get to the bottom!!!
Many thanks for your support. Joe skipped up and down, Zak did extra scrambles to keep himself amused, Gemma conquered all her fears and got down first, Tom came last using the walking stick and Jan is still stiff 2 weeks on!
We and the orphanage in Zimbabwe really appreciate your support.
Tom, Jan, Gemma, Zak & Joe Watt
