21st September 2007 we traveled for 7 hours to our base at Glen Nevis camping and caravanning site at the foot of Ben Nevis. At 4406ft or 1344m, Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK.
Close to Fort William, and the accessibility of the path from Glen Nevis means that tens of thousands of walkers climb Ben Nevis each year. If you decide to join the crowds, remember that this is a serious undertaking and dress for the mountain and not for the valley.

The picture below shows our tents on the site with the start of the asent in the distance.

Less than a mile lower down stream, at the very heart of Glencoe, the river widens briefly to form Loch Achtriochtan, a great place to view the entire glen.
When you visit the highlands you will be greeted by some outstanding mountain scenery with fantastic views of the Scottish glens & lochs. You will not be disappointed

A visit to Buttermere is principally for its natural attractions – as the area offers some of the best walking country in Cumbria. There is a path around the perimeter of the lake, and
