Here are a few pics from my trip to scotland, walking the west highland way, around 120miles inc Ben nevis Via the Carn Mor Dearg arete, walked in 6 Days.
i used the Golite hut 2 shelter which is huge,and great for this sort of trip where the wee beasties can bite and you need to be zipped away!!Dec 3, 2007 at 7:05 am #1411065Dan –
Thanks for the great photos! This month in Alpinist magazine there's a feature article on winter climbing on Ben Nevis so your photos ring right home in my mind fresh from last night's thorough read of the article. Is the little white shelter in one of the photos the C.I.C. hut by chance?
I especially like the photo of you sitting next to the campfire with your shelter pitched off to the side. I've always been partial to campsite photos.
Thanks,

There is a hut on the summit its the last of the meteorological observatory built in 1870 and is now a mountain rescue emergency shelter, its just behind the summit trig point,This is the cic hut, we passed down stream! iv circled the hut because its tiny on the pic!
