Waymarks improved on Ben Nevis

Monday, 14 December 2009

This is not breaking news but just a reminder that Nevis Waymarks Improved should be visited and copied onto your map if you are climbing on Ben Nevis this winter. The line of cairns is a big improvement on previous markers and shows that common sense has broken out on this sometimes thorny issue. Even so, the markers may get covered by snow and map and compass skills of the highest order will still be required even if the cairns remain above the snow.

Please can you all consider contacting Nevis Partnership and lobby them to extend the path crossing above the 'Half-Way' Lochan towards Torlundy. Where is the sense in leaving the path half finished? Finishing that path would also create a very good mid-height footpath for summer visitors wishing to access Glen Nevis from Nevis Range.

By the way the weather is still very good and cold. Lots of ice in my back yard!
