Vegan 3 Peaks Challenge, UK, in May.

And here it is, the highest point in the whole of the UK, at 1,344 m. The snow was so deep the ruined stone buildings nearby were more than half buried. We dared not take our hands out of our gloves to check our thermometer, for the next hour. With the wind chill it was at least -15C. This is spring on Ben Nevis - it was May.

Then it was off to our hostel for very long showers, sleep, and food, in that order. Will was our spiritual advisor (every good mountaineering team should have one). The interventions required in our case resulted in a sizeable appetite.
