Hello

I am raising money for the Jennifer Trust to help children like my sister Heli who had SMA.

In October I am hoping to get to the top of Ben Nevis.  This is the highest mountain in the UK.  It will be a very long walk!

Please sponsor me!

 Thank you

Saskia

 

 

Ben Nevis Trip 3rd October 2009

At the start of the walk we were on a easy sloping path. Occasionally I asked Daddy for a jelly baby for energy (and of course because I like them!!!!).

About a quarter of the way up I saw a sheep dog.

I was surprised for it was not cold in the sleet, snow, hail, rain, and 60 mile an hour winds.

Half way up I saw a rainbow. I thought it was sent down from Helena my sister who had SMA.

On the very top there was a little cabin that was made of wood and metal to protect you from the very foul, FOUL horrible weather, but was so short that you could only sit down inside it. My hands were freezing.

On the top, in the cabin we had mint tea and sandwiches.

On the way down it was absolutely horrible weather again. The hail stones felt like people throwing needles at your face. Also our waterproofs were definitely put to the test, because when we got down, underneath our waterproofs WE WERE SOAKED!

When we got down I was glad to be in the warmth again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
