yes our Murphy!
John headed to Nevis this morning without telling anyone! He took Murphy as Diesel isn't fit for it. I dare say The Murphmeister took it in his stride. |

Summit pic to prove we did it....excuse the sweat on the T shirt.......we went up in 3hrs 15mins and down in 2hrs 20mins...on the way up only 3 fell runners passed us
It is a hard , hard climb........relentless.......but anyone who can do Ben Lomond with a bit of preparation could do this.......according to the Garmin the accent was over 4000ft!
More pics to follow
The summit is not a place to wander!

As you get towards the summit there is no vegetation ( except for moss)......very surreal........
