Ben Nevis
Highland, United Kingdom
Highest mountain of Great Britain. It sits in high or exposed country, where the weather changes fast and proper boots and waterproofs matter even in summer.
Why visit: Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike are modest in height and serious in weather — the summits change conditions within an hour.
- ›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
