gibbo62 > 28.04.07 A view of Ben Nevis from western shore of Loch Linnhe.
gibbo62 > 28.04.07 Looking at the Summit ruins, shelter & Trig point of Ben Nevis during the SUMMER MONTHS. DID YOU KNOW... The summit of Ben Nevis is 4406 feet above sea level, features the ruins of an observatory which was permanently staffed between 1883 and 1904. The twenty years' worth of readings still provide the most comprehensive set of data on mountain weather in the British Isles.
gibbo62 > 28.04.07 The 1883 Pony Track to the summit (Tourist Route) remains the most popular route of ascent. It begins at Achintee on the east side of Glen Nevis (1.5 miles from Fort William), at around 20 metres above sea level. The path climbs steeply to the saddle by Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe at 570 m, then ascends the remaining 700 metres up the stony west flank of Ben Nevis in a series of zig-zags to the Summit at 4406ft.
