Ben Macdui

Kirkmichael, United Kingdom

Overview

Mountain on the Aberseendshire and Moray border, Scotland; second highest mountain in the UK.

Why visit: Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike are modest in height and serious in weather — the summits change conditions within an hour.

Things to do

›Carry waterproofs whatever the forecast says
›Tell someone your route and expected time back
›Use the mountain forecast for cloud base and wind chill
›Turn back if the cloud comes down — navigation off-path is hard
