Lucy, Miguel and I had the pleasure of running a fantastic Ben Nevis Charity Challenge for the Marie Keating Foundation and partners this weekend.I am pleased to announce that all 22 members of the group who travelled from Ireland successfully climbed Ben Nevis and more importantly got back down again safely.
The three of us really enjoyed meeting the participants and despite a dreadful weather forecast the weather was surprisingly good and all had a great time. It was the perfect way to ease myself back into work after 2 weeks holiday in the Hebrides. (More about that later).
You can view the photos from the Ben Nevis Climb here or just watch the slideshow below.
Well done to all those who took part in raising so much money for three outstanding charities.
