This challenge takes you into the heart of the breath-taking Western Highlands in order to conquer the highest peak in Britain set at 1,345m above sea level.
The trail to the summit is technically easy, but trekking Ben Nevis is a challenge – stamina and determination are a must! The stunning views of the highlands will be with us all the way and provide a fantastic backdrop to one of the most sought-after charity challenges in the UK!
Most have not experienced the beauty of the Scottish Highlands so we invite you to take on this special journey – don’t underestimate the fun and camaraderie on this UK weekend challenge. Return transport is provided from Glasgow.
St Catherine’s Hospice has teamed up with Global Adventure Challenges who will be hosting this event on our behalf.
