COVID put a stop to that, and after numerous false starts the date turned out to be a potentially chilly and wet late September 2020. As it happened the weather gods were fantastically generous and gave us a crystal clear, dry, and windless day. Our guide reckoned you only got 10-15 days like that a year.<\/p>\n<p>Our group of 23 was split into rule of 6 compatible mini groups.We then hit the trail at a frosty 8am, with our groups starting at staggered times for COVID safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"996\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-2.png 996w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-2-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-2-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-2-900x502.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The trial is easy to follow and very well maintained. If you are thinking of doing it, don&#8217;t be put off by the height, its a moderate gradient all the way up but steady with no scrambling or climbing. We took 3 hours to get to the top at an easy pace for us. If you go in the summer and start early, you&#8217;ll have 10 hours of good light to reach the summit and return. If in doubt hire a guide who can make the decisions about weather and timings for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-1.png 520w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-1-213x300.png 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The trail starts at the visitor centre, crosses the river, passes an excellent pub and hostel and quickly starts to climb.

Don&#8217;t take it for granted, cancer hits every family and everyone has their own story. On the way home we learnt that a friend had been diagnosed with terminal cancer; young, fit, new family and wife, a tragedy. It was an honour to raise a little over \u00a37,000 for Macmillan who every day helps that family and that friend get the most from the time they have.<\/p>\n<p>This was an amazing experience, and raising money for a charity like Macmillan only made it better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1109\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-4.png?fit=629%2C349&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-4.png 1109w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-4-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-4-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-4-1024x568.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-4-900x499.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1109px) 100vw, 1109px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[338],"tags":[400,341,347,346,401,399,92,96,161,231,178,99,102],"class_list":["post-6923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-charity","tag-ben-nevis","tag-charity-volunteering","tag-coronavirus-uk","tag-covid-19","tag-fundraising","tag-macmillan","tag-volunteer","tag-volunteer-management","tag-volunteer-management-software","tag-volunteer-management-software-uk","tag-volunteer-management-system","tag-volunteer-software","tag-volunteering"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Macmillan at the Highest Peak in the UK - TeamKinetic<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our own Software Engineer, Rolf Herbert, climed up the highest peak in the UK to raise money for Macmillan.
