Cairns on Ben Nevis - Better placed

Friday, 23 October 2009

Cairns on Ben Nevis positioned more safely

The line of some cairns on the summit plateau of Ben Nevis have been positioned differently on a 300 metre section from the top of Gardyloo Gully towards Maclean's Steep, to aid map and compass navigation in poor visibility, especially under snowy conditions. A good and welcome move on the part of The John Muir Trust and Nevis Partnership.
