Thought you could not advertise dogging spots publicly

Done it many times. If I am being honest it quite a boring walk compared to snowdon and scaffell pike but once you get to the top it is beautiful. Be careful in the dark though as coming down can be tricky in the snowy patches but apart from that the descent is the easiest of the three peaks but seriously sure you have a map and someone with experience as you could get in some serious trouble. Also have a fairly good level of fitness. Happy to chat if you want to message me any questions.

Its an organised event. Start the assent at 22.30, reach summit by day break and descend in the morning sunshine (hopefully)

i have done the ben many times and from various routes in both summer and winter.

1st things first - make sure you visit the climbers cafe in fort william for a decent breakfast, lol - park in glen nevis and take a nice slow walk up what is know as the zig zags, up to the top and the monument, be more carefull comming down - enjoy the views xxx
