Well done, what month did you do this?

[MilkManProductions81]

@Upeter2 Thank you, I did it in May 2010. I also went and did it in April this year but have not put the video up yet.

I will hopefully be uploading the video of my 2011 Ben Nevis trip this weekend. Should be doing Snowdon in Wales this winter also, so for those interested will be making a video of that. Next year should be the 3 peaks challenge!

@MilkManProductions81 Thanks for the reply.

@666darkhawk you should definately give it a go, you'll enjoy it, just make sure you're prepared (and get some sleep beforehand!) good luck!

Considering doing this with some friends as a charity event ^_^ well done for getting to the top

@MilkManProductions81 Nothing worse that a night in a tin box (the van) cold as hell. I would rather be under a tarp than in the van. You will be happy starting at the pub, it's nice to end a walk with a few pints of ale. Looking forward to seeing if you post video from that hike.
