Take on the Ben Nevis Trek

Join #TeamLC and trek to the summit of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain at 1,345 metres above sea level. Set in the breathtaking Western Highlands of Scotland, this classic UK challenge is a perfect mix of physical effort, stunning scenery and shared achievement.
