Ben nevis

[Jan L]

Chris had the bright idea of flying the speed wings off the summit of Ben Nevis!!! Off the north face!!!!!!!! Camped out in a pub car park at the bottom. Oh what a cold night -13. Gas froze water pump froze!!!
We headed up 9.30 got to summit at 2.30 clammped in, deep snow so had the joy of walking back down!!! Great day but knackered. Heading to glencoe in morning. Thank god for chair lifts

Good effort guys, respect Shame you did not get to fly but you've got to be in it to win it!

Good luck in the Coe tomorrow, it could be epic for speed flying with the lifts running. If anyone is around the Lakes whilst the snow's about and wants to play, then I have got two portable ski lifts running at the mo. Call me if you fancy it 07830281986

Vid from last Monday, loads more snow now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj8Jh9xfmJI

I agree bloody good effort especially in deep snow. Go to the Clachiag Pub in Glencoe and see if you can drink all the Islay malts off the top shelf. Me and Rob Elliott tried once after doing the 3 peaks but failed and we were carried to our beds
