    Hiking

    The first Cairn marker on the Ben Nevis route signifies the rockier path ahead, many of the Cairns erected by walkers have been removed, the ones which are left let you know where the turns are and you are going the right way, also well used to hide behind if you are caught short.

    Hiking

    Watch where you walk or watch the view, both is very hard.
