Story

This summer I am climbing Ben Nevis with my family (and dog). We are doing this in order to raise money for the 600 campaign. 

The world record for climbing Ben Nevis is 1 hour 25 minutes but we won't be running up it like the world record holders do. On average it takes around 4 to 5 hours to climb Ben Nevis and then we will be walking back down again. It will be a long day! We have been practicing by doing really long walks. 

In old Gaelic Ben Nevis means "mountain with its head in the clouds" and it used to be a volcano, until it collapsed in on itself millions of years ago.

Thanks for sponsoring me!
