Get off Ben Nevis summit - safely

Many, many people every year underestimate the conditions they will face on the summit of Britain’s highest mountain – some with fatal consequences. Not only is the correct clothing and equipment required but also the knowledge of how to use it. The ability to set a compass on to a bearing of 231 degrees and then walk on the bearing for 150m is a vital requirement. After walking for the 150m you will then need to turn on to a bearing of 282 degree, this can be followed safely down to the path.
