United Kingdom Natural Environment

One of the big reasons I came to Ft. William was for Ben Nevis. If you're going to make an attempt up Ben Nevis, bear in mind what the weather is like. It may be a little cloudy at the base, but at the top visibility will likely be absolutely zero. There are a few cliff faces up near the top so step carefully if you can't see very far. Up at the top is the highest war memorial in Britain (as this is the highest peak). Leave an entire day for this one if you haven't really done a lot of climbing because it will be a workout. Bring a lot of water and food, too because you don't want to run out. All the way up, you'll ask people how much further it is and they always seem to reply "10 more minutes" even if it's another hour. Of course, you'll be donig the same thing when you come down. Legend has it that there is a monstrously large ghost that resides at the summit. It looks like the perfect place if you're up there when it's cold and rainy. This ghost is said to chase people back down the mountain. Beware

very wild mountains, weather changes a lot, beautifull! Bring a good map and rainclothes!

Based on an ancient Roman City. Parking in town is super expensive, so take the park and ride into the city. Main street shopping is great with lots of Edwardian buildings. Make sure you visit the (free) Chester museum, was nearly empty when we went and was a great refuge from the cruddy weather!

Britains most Northerly town Lerwick is a fascinating place at any time of year. In summer, its waterfront is brightened by yachts and cruise liners from ports around the North Atlantic. In winter, the harbour is a refuge for all kinds of craft and the twists and turns of Commercial Street defeat the wildest weather. The town had the humblest of beginnings as a scattering of huts along the shore occupied during the Dutch fishing season, but grew apace from the seventeenth century. Above the winding shoreline track which became Commercial Street, development was tightly packed into a patchwork of narrow lanes. In the 19th century, new docks to accommodate the fishing fleet were created to the north of the town. At Freefield, Hay's dock was the centre of Shetland's fishing industry and the largest ship built in Lerwick, the barque `North Briton', took to the water here in 1836. By the late 19th century, the more prosperous citizens were moving from the old part of town to flatter land west of the Hillhead and continued to expand to become a thriving and welcoming place of around 7,600 people serving all the 23,000 inhabitants of Shetland. There's a wide range of accommodation, a choice of good places to eat, pubs and clubs to suit most tastes and some of the most advanced indoor leisure facilities in Britain. Lerwick is also an excellent place to sample Shetland's internationally celebrated musical heritage. The islands are best known for their fiddle music, but there's a wealth of talent embracing a wide range of styles.
