Received this email recently: Hi ! Thanks for the info you put regarding the Pony Track to the Ben Nevis at tarmachan-mountaineering.org.uk/ben-nevis/ben-nevis-via-the-mountain-path/. My wife and myself wanted to do it, but we have a 7 month baby. If I take my son on a back-packer suitable for little babies, do you think we could do the Pony Track, or not? Thanks for your help! Best, Tomas Guess which one of the below is my reply: 1. Yes 2. No 3. Tomas, to answer your question consider asking yourself the following: Are you and your wife regular hill walkers and fit? Do you have warm clothing, waterproofs for you and your child? The top of Ben Nevis is at least 10 degrees colder and usually wetter/windier than in Fort William. Your baby wont be active so do you have lots of very warm clothing for it? Have you walked anywhere else with your baby in a baby carrier? Have you walked on rough terrain with the child in the carrier. Are you fit enough to carry the child and all the extra weight for 8-10 hours? Have a think about these questions and if there is the slightest doubt then you will have the answer.
