The adventure begins late this evening in Fort William as the group, leaders and crew and enjoy a hearty supper and a pre-trek safety briefing before transferring to the starting point.
Bidding farewell to the fading twilight, follow the historic old Pony Track from Glen Nevis towards the summit. This famous old trail climbs steeply to the saddle by Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe (570m), before ascending a series of zigzags up the stony western flank of the mountain. Be warned, the path can get very uneven and slippery in parts.
For many, trekking through the night will be one of the most challenging aspects of the journey. As tiredness and fatigue creep in, dig deep for the final push towards the summit. Our aim is to arrive at the top as dawn approaches. The rocky summit (1,344m) provides us with the highest point for over 400 miles in any direction (before the Scandinavian Mountains in western Norway). The ruined walls of the old observatory provide a prominent feature and, on a clear dawn, the 360 degree views can extend across the Torridon Hills, Ben Lomond and towards the Northern Irish coast.
After some triumphant selfies, we retrace our steps, returning to Glen Nevis and then the event venue for a celebratory breakfast.
