Ben Nevis
After the euphoria of helping my father to climb Snowdon I have no wish to return there (nor has Moonface) but we feel that we need some new physical goal to meet for our walking. So, as we know that long-distance walks are not challenging for us any more, even though they are so enjoyable, we need a little extra.
Ben Nevis! Scotland's highest mountain.
Yes, I know that the Three Peaks runners can ascend this, Sca Fell and Snowdon in just 24 hours, but I'm not that ambitious. It's fifty percent more ascent than Snowdon and considerably steeper in places, so it will be a proper exercise for us. And now with a van to sleep in and take us there, the logistics of the 500-mile journey become much easier. Later this year, perhaps?
