WHAT TO EXPECT:

This can be challenging climb and requires a good level of fitness and some experience in climbing mountains. Whilst most of the FITBANKER hikes are suitable for beginner level for Ben Nevis you should be able to walk 11 miles comfortably in different terrains. Sometimes the hikes are relatively long days in the mountains and you will need a positive attitude towards the great outdoors (with generous encouragement from me of course). Ben Nevis tourist track is a mountain route with a mix of rocky terrain, grassy paths and steep ascents/descents. If you are someone who walks regularly on any terrain, you will be fine. If you have any medical conditions, please let me know beforehand.
