Ben Nevis

Hi everyone, here's some more shots from my time in Scotland. These were taken during a day trip to Ben Nevis last weekend. This is the highest peak in the UK and something I've been hoping to do since I came over, so it was great knocking it off the list :)

All shots E-3 and ZD 12-60 SWD

Good shots, seems a great walk you've had.

I was thinking that there wasn't a lot of trees, so it must be a tad windy, then I scrolled down to #8, which sort of answers that question.

What sort of temperatures did you have?

It wasn't that cold, maybe -5 on the summit, but the wind chill was a killer...
