Climbing Ben Nevis with Mum when she was 72

Created by Alistair one month ago
In line with her fierce independence, she insisted on carrying her own rucksack up (I had argued that her stuff would fit in mine), only to find that it was a bit much for her to carry back down, unsurprisingly. So I ended up supporting Mum on the way down over those massive rock steps, with a rucksack on my back, hers on my front, so I couldn’t see where my feet were going... Laughs and smiles all the way, though!
