Ben Nevis

After a slow and relaxing transit, moving alternate days and taking plenty of time to look around, we are now moored up under Ben Nevis.There's still snow on top, one chap didn't think it would go at all this summer, especially as more fell only a few days ago.
Its a bit of a privilege to see the mountain this clearly, the locals say its only visible one day in four at the best of times. The lock keeper hadn't seen it for a month due to the amount of cloudy weather wet and misty weather lately.
We intend to resume our journey this afternoon, going down Neptune's Staircase, a daunting flight of eight locks, which will bring us close to the end of the canal.
