Conquered Ben Nevis
Well, we have just returned from a family holiday in Bonnie Scotland. My first ever visit, the word that sums it up is stunning!
We stayed in a newly built house in a small village called Arisaig in western Scotland, a beautiful place not even spoilt by the British weather. I should have packed one of our Result RE92A Windcheaters!
It was a long drive from Yorkshire, however having the chance to sit down and enjoy the wonderful scenery made a nice change from standing at a print machine loading shirts.
We visited Loch Ness, sadly did not catch site of the legendary monster so my dream of selling the rights to my amateur filming of the said beast and making lots of money did not transpire!
One of the highlights (no pun intended) of my holiday was climbing Ben Nevis, my wife and 11 year old son (now 12) also managed this feat. Talking about feet, anyone intending to venture up this huge mountain take note; the correct footwear is not a pair of trainers! A pair of hiking boots is the answer, I could have even visited our online shop and treated myself to a pair of DeWalt boots.
Well given the terrain and the weather next time we go I will be taking the following: vests, weatherproofs, fleeces, correct footwear and a nice woolly hat!
If you have not been to Scotland it’s a must see!
