Carry On Exploring-Part 4- Fort William(Ben Nevis)
So today we found ourselves in Fort William, a busy but very beautiful town just an hours drive from Oban. It has one special fearure...Ben Nevis.
)
We arrived at the Ben Nevis visitor centre after a long drive through past another loch!
The scenery is truly breathtaking. We drove over two large bridges that overlooked the waters.
When we arrived we found the little visitor centre which was as you would expect, full of hiking equiment and souvenieurs.
I thought about buying a tshirt that said I climbed ben nevis but knew no-one would believe me.
We were dissapointed that there were no cable cars, as we had seen videos on you tube. Apparrently the cable cars were on a neighbouring mountain!
Anyway here are some pics. Unfortunately I couldnt place the mountain in a photograph as its a little bit big....so you will have to use your imagination....
Absolutely stunning!! great blog @sarahewaring upvoted!
I am working with the #promo-uk team and @stephenkendal to promote steemit on a UK tour around 22 universities during freshers week! As a promonent UK steemian, we would like to ask for your support and if you have time, even to come and join us for whatever time you can spare at your nearest university!
The tour started in Manchester today, does a trip around the country and ends up in Lancaster on 07th Oct.
THIS link will show you the tour route, meeting times and meet up locations.
THIS link shows you our success around Manchester today!
It would be really great if you could make it to one of these promotional events to have some fun talking Steemit and letting people know how great it is!!
We are also presenting at the London investors fair on 20th October. We plan to get together with some steemians in a London bar after the event for some drinks (which we will put 150 GBP behind the bar for)
HERE is a summary of our last meetup
Please reply to this or contact me in steemit.chat if you are interested to take part or support our work!
Wow sounds amazing...very interested just off out soon going to one of the scot isles but definately interested in this! Will report later.
@starkerz which nittingham university is it?may come and see you there!
Ahhh! so cool if you can make it! I will go to Nottingham university campus first, and then decide what to do for the rest of the day based on numbers of people and also who is coming! do you have a preference for a meeting point or Nottingham Uni ok?
No preference its just there are two uni's and didn't want to go to the wrong one! If you are going to the university of Nottingham (Not Nottingham Trent) then I'll drive over (workload permitting) if you give me a time. I don't go on chat i'm afraid so If you can keep me in the loop here I will try my best to pop over :-)
