The Munro Show - Ben Nevis (NOT The Tourist Route) - 4409 feet (1344m) - Lochaber (Fort William)

Ben Nevis (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Nibheis, pronounced [peˈɲivəʃ]) is the highest mountain in the British Isles. It is located at the western end of the Grampian Mountains in the Lochaber area of Scotland, close to the town of Fort William.

As is common for many Scottish mountains, it is known both to locals and visitors as, simply, The Ben.[1][2] It attracts an estimated 100,000 ascents a year,[3] around three-quarters of which[4] are made using the well-constructed Pony Track from Glen Nevis on the south side of the mountain. For climbers and mountaineers the main attraction lies in the 700-metre (2,300 ft) high cliffs of the north face; among the highest cliffs in the United Kingdom, they harbour some classic scrambles and rock climbs of all difficulties, and are one of the principal locations in the UK for ice climbing.

The summit, at 1,344 metres (4,409 ft) above sea level, features the ruins of an observatory, which was permanently staffed between 1883 and 1904. The meteorological data collected during this period are still important for understanding Scottish mountain weather. C. T. R. Wilson was inspired to invent the cloud chamber after a period spent working at the observatory.

Got a bit excited there when I read you had found the original dvd. as I thought they had released a new one as the munro show dvd I have doesnt have Ben Nevis on it along with a few other mountains she climbed in the original programmes that were shown on tv. why didnt they release the full programmes? On a personal note its great to see you on the walkhighlands web site really enjoy your pictures and videos.
