In reply to jecee. If you can dream it, you can do it ;-) Ben Nevis is a great goal to work towards. Start with smaller local hikes and work up from there! Good luck!

i haven’t any idea about mt. ben nevis until my boyfriend told me so, and invited me to join him one day to hike and reach the peak of this mountain. upon reading these experiences of yours, i am more excited to have that day come…we just hope that we could make it to the top, though he said that a lot of exercise is to be done before hiking to prepare our physical body….wish we could make that dream come true babe!

In reply to Sandy. Ha, thanks Sandy! I find physical feats are always more easily tackled with silly accessories!

I want to do it but my husband has a bad ankle so I’ll have to find someone else to join me or go solo. Great post and I love the cow hat!

In reply to Janice. Hi Janice! I only brought very inappropriate walking shoes for my short trip to Edinburgh, so I had to pass on Arthur's seat. Definitely give Ben Nevis a try! I believe with enough time almost anyone could do it!

Hi Alex! Stumbled upon your blog while surfing the internet. Great to hear from a fellow not-so-fit traveler who conquered Ben Nevis! Congrats 🙂 I passed by Fort William on our trip to Scotland in May and contemplated the hike but did not do it! We barely managed Arthur’s seat in Edinburgh – in my defense, it was a really really windy and rainy day 😛 This will be on my to-do list for the next visit to Scotland.

In reply to crazy sexy fun traveler. Despite the tone of my post here, it really was one of my best experiences in Scotland!

I can’t believe now that during a year I lived in Scotland, I never hiked Be Nevis, just stared from the bottom to the top once. I blame the bad weather 😀
