AVFCDAN Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I'm climbing Nevis next Friday and it just so happens to be a sponsored thing. I didn't know that until I'd handed over my £80 deposit for the coach and accommodation (with 50 other people..). The guy running it wants £100 per person to go to Acorns. Admirable, but I've only got about £40 so far I hate asking people and I'm refusing to ask colleagues at work, too messy and embarrassing. Which path are you taking mate? Theres two routes essentially, one is just the general footpath way but there is another whether you go left once you reach the big lake and go via Carn Mor Dearg ridge all the way round to the summit, not gonna lie its bloody hard but worthwhile. Took us the best part of 12 hours to finally reach the pub at the bottom but those beers certainly tasted nice. If you get a clear day some of the sights are stunning once you reach the top, they say you only get about 40 clear days a year and thankfully we got one. If you do venture into Fort William some of the food is unreal, i had the haggis and the neeps and tatties tasted like they had just been pulled out of the ground. I also got to try my first deep fried mars bar. Look out for Statio B - one of the least welcoming social clubs ive ever seen in my life.

lapal_fan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've asked the guy which path we're taking and he hasn't replied... Going up friday night and coming back Sunday morning, so won't get to do much else apart from up and down with a few beers on the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look out for Statio B - one of the least welcoming social clubs ive ever seen in my life. when we did the 3 peaks , we did the trail from the pub at the bottom to the summit .. was up and down in around 5 - 5 1/2 hours and that was with me having to half carry a girl who sprained her ankle at the summit ... at 12 hours the long route sounds a bit too long for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually done the 3 peaks but not in the challenge form. Edited February 26, 2015 by AVFCDAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) That's next year. All for kilamanjaro in 2018. It's on my to do list , just the small matter of my knee ops first I did the summit of Mt Toubkal (4,167m ) the other year .. that was tough as the last 1000m were in snow that was knee deep in places ... had to really dig deep on that one what with the altitude ... I left the lodge at 4am , and at 4:30 I could still see it , could almost still touch it in fact .. It was quite dis-heartening having to keep stop stopping every 5 steps due to being unable to breath ... but you have to slap yourself around the face a few times and set ever increasing targets and eventually you reach the top ... Might hike up Mt Ararat(5,137 m) next year if all goes well Edited February 26, 2015 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually done the 3 peaks but not in the challenge form. the challenge was hard work ... rained the whole 24 hours so your hiking in the rain and then sitting 4 hours in a cramped mini bus before having to get out and hike up another peak .. think about half our group never got out at the last peak we lost time on Nevis with the injured woman , then our mini bus broke down , so we lost about 4 hours ... and then on Snowdonia a few started to really struggle and we had to keep waiting for them ( rules being you can't just leave people to die , meh) finished around the 26 hr mark so confident if I was on my own it could have been done in under 20 ... might give it another go sometime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
