Hello, everyone . Do you know Ben Nevis? It’s the highest mountain in Britain. Today I’ll tell you my experience of climbing it. It was in February. We camped at the bottom of the mountain. Although the weather forecast was perfect, with no winds or snow,(18) there was still a general feeling of nervousness when we set out. The group soon climbed and my legs felt heavy. Being the weakest member of the group, I had to rest more frequently. The others sometimes stopped for a break to let me catch up. (19)After seven hours of climbing, we reached the top. In a clear day, we saw the sea and the Isle of Skye right across it . On Ben Nevis, getting back to camp can be as much of a challenge as going up. When I finally came back to the tent, I couldn’t say I really enjoyed the experience,but at least I made it to the top.(20)
