Weather in the mountains is very unpredictable-almost unbelievable so sometimes. It is quite possible that you for a beautiful clear day for your climb will choose, and will begin the day at a tee shirt with the sun beating down on your back.

If you are starting to rise you may find that cloud begins to form, and the Summit will be hidden! You will be safe if you go to the well trodden paths, but it really is not advisable to go too far from the track. The cloud and mist can form very quickly and very thick and it is very easy to quickly be disoriented and lose your way and spoil your hiking holiday.

Another thing you will notice as you climb the mountain is that the temperature will decrease. It will undoubtedly much colder at the top than the bottom – especially in low cloud. The average temperature at the Summit of Ben Nevis is-1 degree Celsius. You will need to take a jumper, even if you start on a hot summer day, and should also have a waterproof in case of low cloud or fog-this can be very wet, and if you do not have enough prepared, your clothes soaked.
