Story
My aim is to raise a minimum of £250 for the Ben Nevis Path Fund; Nevis Landscape Partnership is the main charity for this event and without their hard work, we would not be able enjoy Ben Nevis and the stunning surrounding landscape.
Ben Nevis is an international Scottish icon; a landmark recognised beyond our shores. As the highest mountain in the British Isles it has economic and reputational value on a national scale, sitting at the heart of the Outdoor Capital of the United Kingdom. More profoundly, it has deep cultural and environmental significance. The encompassing mountain landscape of Glen Nevis constitutes one of Scotland’s most accessible and cherished National Scenic Areas.
Each year 130,000 climb Ben Nevis and around 200,000 people visit Glen Nevis. We all have an impact on the paths, the roads and the environment. Paths need repaired, litter needs collected, trees need planted and wildlife needs monitored.
If we each gave just £1 or £2 all this vital work could be delivered. However, our tradition of free access to wild places makes it impossible to make this compulsory. So this is an opportunity to be part of a unique experience and challenge and to give something back to the area we love
