We breakfasted on our last six ginger nut biscuits and started treading the path up Ben Nevis at 08:00. We allowed plenty of time for what would normally be a simple up and down trip as Oli's right knee hasn't quite been the same since the particularly tricky portage into the cove near Hopman. The walk itself was uneventful. The weather was excellent but the path wasn't very interesting at all. We were pleased to reach the summit and mark the successful completion of the expedition and enjoyed a huge feeling of satisfaction on the equally boring path down.
The last two weeks have been fantastic; hard work at times but well worth the effort. We're now looking forward to getting back home, having a shower and a good meal and sorting out the photos and videos from the trip. We're back late tomorrow night and hopefully should have a more thorough account of the trip on the blog before the end of the week.
