And we have all come back a little bit fitter.

The unexpected ending

Well everybody was up early and ready to go.   Justin had to head off home for some prior commitments so he was sleeping in.
We came out of a flat on the car.   So we had to wait around till the tyres centres opened.  We grabbed a breakfast at Tescos.
The tyre store was going to take hours to locate us one.  So we had to find a bigger one.  
This added some significant delays to the day.
It was decided to scrub Scafell as we could not complete it in the time we had.  So we went to the lake district for lunch and then off home.
We will schedule Scafell in for a weekend trip.

Carlisle

Well into Carlisle for the night.   The hotel was so so but still everybody attended their injuries and off to bed.

Ben Nevis the return

Well half way up one of the member had to turn back due to injury.  The other three hiked onwards to the top.  They made it several hours later.  There are some great photos they took in the snow covered top.  

Then the hike back brought them back for 6:30pm.

The long drive to Carlisle now-  John it rested and ready for the drive.

Ben Nevis trek

In Fort Williams and ready to go.  The weather is clear and warm. A lot different than yesterday

So the hike started with a target time of around 6 hours.   

Here are some photos of the hike

update

Well the blogging app did not work as well as hoped- mainly due to little or no mobile signal in the mountains
So retroactively doing the blog
