Out today for the Ice Factor with Joanne and Lorraine who'd recieved a mountaineering experience as a gift. So with that in mind we made for Ledge Route on Ben Nevis, a nice grade 1 scramble. No one else on the route and looking very quiet on Tower Ridge also; we enjoyed a bit of solitude and made very fast time on to the plateau and the crowds.
Thankfully the thunder that some forecasts suggested never materialised, although it is very humid and hazy with big Cumulonimbus clouds stacking up in the afternoon. Tomorrow however it seems more likely that there will be thunder as a cold front moves across from the atlantic.
