This picture is based on the arete that leads up onto Ben Nevis. But really it tells the story of many days on the hill with my family at the point when one, or all, of us feel we can’t go any further. You're tired and it's all getting a bit scary as your legs are not as fresh and strong as they were earlier in the day. Then you look behind you and WOW - look how far we’ve come! My wonderful husband often says this at just the right time and the declaration gives you the strength to keep going 'til you reach the top. As with so many things in life, it's about perseverance and keeping going to achieve your goal.
