I did it before covid, when I was in Fort William in August. It was not that hard, but last bit was challenging, I was my my wife too, not a lot of training, having only done Etna before. It is easier coming back, as you go through the food and water, so the backpack is lighter. We started at 9-10 in the morning and we were back at 17.00. Nice, but now, as I approach 50, I wonder if I can still do it again? I may go for the Welsh one next 1085M, or the Snowdon next, I think is only 900M+ next year.

I'd love to visit Mount Etna - and Snowdon would be such a feat. Well done for hiking Ben Nevis! You bagged the UK's highest munro! There was still quite a lot of traffic when we made it to the summit at around 17:30 - and we were still passing stragglers hiking up the main road on the way down an hour or so later. I think our descent back to the car took us roughly four hours. It was a long day, haha.
I got a nice trick now, there is this liquid meal called Huel, one 500ml bottle provide 33% of the daily needs, so 3 bottle will provide all the daily needs in nutrients and 1500 ml hidration. Much easy to carry. Enough for a decent climb.
Nice tip!! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏼✨
