Ranked joint 1st in Trail Magazine® “Test of the Best” and recognised for outstanding value and features, this larger volume Ben Nevis model is ideal for Duke of Edinburgh Gold expeditions, wild camping, long-distance routes such as the West Highland Way and extended mountain trekking across the UK.
