Location

What you need to know

Climbing Ben Nevis requires a reasonable level of fitness. While it's a popular hike and doesn't demand technical climbing skills, it's a challenging ascent.

In the month before your Ben Nevis day, we recommend you aim to have completed at least a few 8 mile walks, ideally over mixed terrain and in various weathers.

Ensure you eat a good meal at least 1 hour before your walk and drink plenty. You need to carry at least 1.5 litres of water, plus juice/hot drinks. Bring your own lunch and pack both savoury and sweet foods.

On average, the ascent takes around 4-5 hours to reach the summit. The descent can take roughly 3-3.5 hours. Therefore, the total time for the round trip via this route typically ranges from 7 to 9 hours. The guides will ensure the walk moves at a pace everyone is comfortable with.

Emma Rodgers

The Clatterbridge Fairy was specially created by our Charity Patron, internationally acclaimed sculptor, Emma Rodgers.

We asked Emma to share why she's supporting our Fairy Appeal:
"I have been a Patron of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity for 14 years now, as my mum is cared for there. They are incredible with her and getting the 'all clear' was a wonderful moment. They've done more for me than I can ever do for them, so creating the Fairy seems a small thing, really.

And this year I will be dedicating my Fairy to Professor Myint and the Team at Clatterbridge love from Emma, Milly, Annie and family."
