Follow The Red Plastic Path

Another dream of Ben Nevis, must look at the reasons sometime.
This time a group of us approached from sea level. After a short distance I decided to leave the party, who were intent on climbing Tower Ridge.
The slope unnerved me as it went straight from sea level to the summit in one huge sweep.
I decided to take the path which circumvented the mountain just above a beach.
The path was made of shiny red plastic with a little plastic fence on the seaward side.
It was great fun, went on for miles, past a beautiful stretch of sand, a wild rocky area, a red light district and finally as it returned to the starting point, along the edge of a deep ravine.
I then sat on the red plastic path waiting for the Ridge party to return.
