- Join me on my BIGGEST adventure so far as I climb to the top of BEN NEVIS, the TALLEST mountain in the United Kingdom! I head to Fort William in Scotland to take on the biggest challenge of my life, climbing 1,345 metres to the highest point anywhere in the British Isles. In this vlog I share my journey along the mountain path route including some of the best scenery I've ever seen!

@@TheSanbrookeAdventures Do you have any bad days?
Amazing! And think of the people that laid that stone path.... that was a feat in itself. Thanks for this wonderful adventure!
The mountain with its head in the clouds, Ford put a model t on top of Ben Nevis as a promotion, it’s lovely mountain! I’ve done snowden and scafell pike so I’ve just got to find the time to get up to Nevis to complete the set
Seems like Nevis is at the worlds end hahahaha. I live in the North and it still takes me 6 hours to get up there hahahaha
My mum did all of them and Ben nevis
Just finished snowdon yesterday and absolutely loved it, would you recommend scafell pike?
Amazing Sean, you go the extra mile for us...literally!!! Brilliant vlog usual my friend 🔥
Thank you Robert, such an incredible experience!
Watched your channel theme park world wide for a long time. I run my own outdoor channel & this is just massively inspiring. I climbed this mountain with my dad who sadly passed a few years ago, after watching this I’m heading back to climb it again in his memory. Thanks Shawn 💚
Thank you!
Excellent video. Well done on completing the challenge. Your attitude is fantastic Shawn. I hope you enjoy many more adventures like that 👍🏻🤙🏻👍🏻
Only just got around to watching this......was incredible. The views were breathtaking. Congratulations Shawn, am thrilled for you. 🥾🚶♂️
Thank you!
Hi Sean I have just done Ben Nevis with my family this weekend. The only thing that kept me motivated was after watching your video you were so motivating and believing it helped me massively thank you so much ❤
Well done Shawn! I bet you were buzzing when you reached to top 😊
Thanks, I was indeed!
Congratulations, Shawn! You are so much fun to watch and so upbeat. I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much!
You’re living the life. This was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching my latest adventure!
Well done Shawn,
I climbed Ben Nevis years ago and cooked on top of there in the hut.
Great achievement!
Keep up all the great work you do.
It sure is awesome! Thanks for watching
hello from usa!! i've always wondered what the tallest point is in the UK now i know! i've watched many many videos on ADVENTURE SHAWN this one is easily my most favorite one of all of them! watching the ascent to the top , the look around , the descent back down! all the views , simply spectacular from the beginning of your journey to the end! 8 + hours worth! mother nature at her finest! also the soundtrack you chose to use , adds to the magic of this outstanding video! your channel never disappoints sir!! love it so much!!!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely brilliant Shawn... Well done !!
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed your time here in the Highlands, there is nothing better than the taste of mountain fresh water. Maybe take Charlotte with you next time. Great video, well done you 🤗🏴
Thank you for sharing your climb to Ben Nevis, I really enjoyed watching your entertaining and inspiring adventure. I look forward to your next adventure.
Shawn i think you should be sponsored by Hollister, by now it's your trademark outfit!
Great job, Shawn!! Really enjoyed this one!
Thanks!
Looks incredible!!
Amazing job! Congratulations! That was inspiring. Thank you for sharing that adventure with us.
Thanks for watching my latest adventure!
Well done lad. Top man
Cheers!
I've been watching your videos for quite a while now...and i have to say this is the first one that prompted me to comment. Not only are you as good as but, in a lot of cases, better than professional presenters. No matter what you're doing, its never boring. And this time, i think its the effect your adventure had on you personally that really drew me in. If the BBC or the Travel Channel doesn't contact you to give you your own travel series, they are insane. Good luck with all your adventures to come. I think you just leveled up. ;)
Thank you very much!
YESS SHAWN! WELL DONE MY MATE ❤❤
Hey there Shawn I love both of your channels I love you Shawn so much and wonderful Charlotte xx
Thank you!
Congratulations Shawn!
Thanks!
well done shawn mate
Congratulations on climbing Ben Nevis.
Wonderful video!
Thank you!
Really got a sense of what the trail was like. I’ll be doing that next May and found it useful. Thanks so much for that 🇮🇪
Great to see you up there, Shawn. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures & challenges!
Thank you!
What an amazing achievement!! Well done Shawn! Throughly enjoyed your vlog.
Thank you!
My favourite video in this series
Thank you!
Well done Adventurous Shawn! You look jazzed by your achievement and you deserve to be.
I haven't been up Ben Nevis but Snowden a few times and the feeling from the top is excellent!
Get yourself a wide-strapped rucksack and some walking boots and you are ready to do anything!!
Well done you. Look forward to more videos of the UK.
I’ll definitely be looking at some better clothing for next time!
Hey Shawn, me and my dad have climbed up Ben Nevis for the 1st time today it was amazing, struggled with the last part uphill and coming down was hard too we did it in about 8hours altogether absolutely great day 😃
Glad you had a good time!
You get about more then me!
We did the climb yesterday, hard going up, freezing at the top, even harder coming down, the backs of my calf's and the tops of my legs ache like hell, but all said and done it was well worth it. Never again, once was enough.
Well done Shawn!
Thanks for taking us on your Ben Nevis adventure.
😊👍🏻🏴
Thanks for joining me on this epic adventure!
I done Snowdon twice last weekend.... looking at Ben Nevis next year.
Well done Shawn this was an amazing achievement and it seems to have had a very positive impact on you. I could sense the pride you had in this adventure when you told me about it when we met at Alton Towers last weekend. It really was a great watch, congratulations.
Thank you!
Great accomplishment Shawn. I walked the West Highland Way when I was 18 which culminates with Ben Nevis. Congratulations 👏 👏 👏
Thanks for watching
I'm having an asthma attack and you're just ten minutes in showing us the view!!! Well done you!
Glad you're up for more hiking adventures! Like you I love theme parks and coasters,but think I love being in the nature even more. I can only recommand you to go hiking, kayaking, biking all around, that's where I feel the most alive. And Scotland is actually one of the best places I've been to do these things. Head to Skye, Torridon, Assynt and you won't regret it!
Thank you for your suggestions!
I really enjoyed your video climbing Ben Nevis, for anyone who feels a bit scared should watch it, it’s all the encouragement they need 👌🏼👍👍
Thank you for watching!
Two thumbs up! Awesome! Finally, a real adventure! As a person who used to do a lot of hiking, all I can say is I hope this really does spark a change in your life. And I'm so glad you enjoyed it, despite it being so challenging. It really is worth the sweat, the sore knees, ankles, back, etc. Come to Oregon: we'll give you all the adventure you can handle, and then some. Got some nice shots too.
Thank you Phil
Looking forward to this good luck
Thanks for watching Peter
Great video and hike 👍
What an amazing video. I think my favourite Ben Nevis video. So honest and positive.
Thank you!
Hey Shawn, the feeling you're describing is one of the main reasons I love going hiking. You don't always have to climb a whole mountain to get fantastic views. I can only tell from hiking here in Germany, but there are so many fantastic hiking trails out there!
If one day you would like to do something like this in Germany (maybe combined with visiting Phantasialand) I would be more than happy to help you planning and giving you some advise what to do here 😄
Thank you, it was such an incredible experience!
Scottish Mountian Rescue would find this video absolutely Amazing.!!!
Been waiting for this bad boy
We loved Ben Nevis we completed this In August last year It was my partners 3rd time and it was my 1st. We can’t wait to go and climb it again! 🤘🏼🤪 we love your videos.
We are hoping to bump into you and Charlotte at some point, we just missed you in Blackpool this weekend! Keep up the good work 😊
I love your spirit!x
Great video you have inspired me to go here thanks
Watched many of these videos climbing Ben nevis. Absolutely loved this one . Well done Shawn such joy and enthusiasm from the very start.
Thank you so much!
I've been mountain climbing for my first time last year in the alps and I absolutely fell in love with it.
Glad to see you having so much fun doing it as well :D
Me too! Chamonix perhaps? I went a couple years ago and it was amazing. Great way to get a clear head too!
@@TaryllBaker no oberstdorf on the German/Austrian border. The mountains around this area are around 2km in height. Still an absolutely breathtaking scenery.
It was great fun, but challenging!
Shaun you have earned a round of applause you worked really hard walking up Ben Nevis and back 8 hours is an amazing time
Thank you!
Weldone. Great achievement! Mountain climbing is great. If you want to drink the water you need to put a tablet in there to purify the water. Its tastes abit metallic, I like to add some squash. Even if it looks clean you never know what's further up stream. As sad as it is there could be a dead sheep somewhere along the flow ect. You can use a water purifier but its alot of hassle and more to carry.
I would say that whilst it is mostly a well trodden path and unlike most mountains, Ben Nevis does see alot of walkers. I would definitively say be prepared and safe. Couple of tips
-water, so important, small sips to replace the salts in the body
- definitely eat beforehand, porridge or beans on toast is a great start up. My favourite mountain snack is malt loaf. Energy bars are great (dark chocolate mint) and energy gels that give you a 20 minute hit of energy. Little sugars and different to caffeine. Highly recommend!
- sturdy walking boots, trainers are okay for comfort. But a good boot will support your feet especially when walking down as well as more protection from blisters in addition to being better in weather like rain.
- a good coat that is lightweight and isotex
- a map. You can buy maps and link it to your phone so that you can follow a map and compass as well as track where you are on your phone for double safety measures (take a portable charger) because you should always know the route. Also if there was ever a white out follow the rock piles and the map it's easy to fall off and not follow a straight line. Even if you think you are.
Most of all enjoy. Fantastic experience. Its great doing the bigger mountains. But have a look at some smaller ones to. They offer some great views.
If you are going snowdon again I recommend climbing glyder fawr and glyder fach and trefan. And on the day you do snowdon, theres another peak next to it that everybody misses but has better views!!
Top effort weldone!! 😊
Thanks for your suggestions!
Hi yeah it's a great walk and climb been up over 20 times both on the main path and the north side amazing experience every time great video keep them walks going
Thank you for watching!
Me and my dad are climbing Ben Nevis in a few days and watching this has made me so exited to go and see everything, great work and amazing shots Shawn
Have a great time!
Such a good video Shawn
Your a good bloke Shawn . Well done pal 👍
Hi Sean. What utterly amazing Videos you've done, truly well done you please keep them coming, all your videos done in Scotland are fabulous. A great Big thumbs up from me .
Thank you!
Well done! 🙌🏻 👌🏻 💖 ✨ I live in Scotland 🏴 and haven't been to Fort William yet, let alone Ben Nevis but it's making me absolutely itching to get out there and give it a go! 💪🏻 The views are breathtaking! Like Wow! breathtaking and all the Waterfalls and streams, too! Beautiful! 😍 Thank you so much for sharing your journey, as loved every minute of this! 🤗 I got quite emotional for you as really felt what an epic experience this was. Best vid I have seen all 2020 on TH-cam. Loved 😍 it!! ✨ 🤗
Thank you! It was certainly an epic experience!
Good Blog - challenged yourself with this one - good exercise - well done.
It was great fun and well worth it!
Well done Shawn, I was at Fort William on a boat cruise just last week and I could see Ben Nevis in the distance. It was a clear day and I could see the entire mountain and to see you complete the challenge has made my Scotland holiday complete. Thank you. Cheers, Mark.
Thanks for watching Mark
I did this with a few friends last September. We stayed in the hostel opposite the bridge and spent three days there! Id do that over a beach holiday any day. Such an achievement and great for mental health.
Troppo bravo awesome Shawn!
Thank you!
AdventuresShawn I follow you with great pleasure, I must tell you that you demonstrate not only great intelligence and ability, but also great sensitivity towards people and places, which you know how to fully and deeply appreciate, demonstrating in your vlogs true human qualities that you always know how to put into action with your special explosive enthusiasm. You are really very good! I send you my special success wishes which I only send to special people like you. Sending everyone my AdventuresShawn - goodbye! Federico Farneti of Rimini, Italy
Well done you!! We are doing this trail in August xx
I’m impressed not only by your lack of camera shake but lack of water drops on lens especially when in the clouds, nice job glad you made it back ok as the rocks can be a bit slippy on the way down.
Thank you!
Excellent video well all your adventure videos are awesome ❤ well done for walking up Ben nevis it’s hard am doing that this summer hopefully fingers crossed your full of so much energy love to go walking you on these mountain keep your ideas coming lad 😊you should do mount snowdon trust me it’s absolutely amazing
Thank you so much!
Hi shawn CONGRATULATIONS 🏆👏👍this was amazing well done. Absolutely loved this the views and the waterfalls were beautiful. Thankyou so much for taking us on your amazing adventure . Love as always Tracey xxxx
Congratulations on a big achievement. Those views are spectacular... Well done again... Great video
Thank you very much!
Great to see you enjoying the tallest mountain in the UK, quality filming and especially your inspiring concluding summary...best of luck on your further adventures! Of course we enjoy your theme park content but it's brilliant to see some more varied expeditions and long may it continue. Thank you for the past 8 years or so ~ your success on TH-cam really is testimony to following through on a vision and many people, whatever their age, myself included, find your content and vlogs brighten our day a little and give a welcome distraction to life with all its ups and downs. Keep following your dreams, keep positive no matter what and best wishes for the future to yourself and Charlotte.
Thank you very much!
Amazing
Good effort dude!
Lovely view from the top.
Well done Shawn!! 👌
Only got to see it once though, as was very cold, windy & misty the other time.
Even stayed in the hut at the summit.
No lovely cafe or hotel at the top though.
Nothing like Snowdon.
Better than Scarfell Pike though.
An adventure never the less.
If you want to stay at the top, make sure to bring a portaloo, sleeping bag, warm clothing, head light & lots of water & food.
I only had a bottle of coke, iron bru, no food & slept in my clothes on the hard wooden surface in the hut during my unplanned night stay.
An adventure non the less & got to see the sun set & rise on one of the very few days of clear & warm weather, at the very top of the UK.
Awesome!! 👌🏴
Thank you for taking us with you. I have horribly weak ankles and would be too scared to do a hike like this, so it was nice to experience it with you
Thank you for watching!
Amazing Shawn.. what a fantastic video..
I’ve been really looking forward to seeing your video to the top of Ben Nevis .. that was great thank you
Thank you!
Congratulations Shawn. What a brilliant achievement for you. It's no mean feat walking for all those hours especially up and down hill. You must be so pleased to have managed to reach the summit. One of the best videos you have ever made. Keep up the adventures.
Thank you very much!
Just come across your channel I have subscribed and hit the bell icon for future videos. I've watch you other channel many times. Iv'e been up Ben Nevis years ago with my dad and this brought back so many good memories. It's a great achievement to get to the top. I think like you said if you able to give it a go for it, it gives you such a buzz when completed. This video was well edited all the way up to the top. Thanks for sharing Shawn it's an inspiration for others to get out and about and see something completely different. Stay safe
Thank you very much David!
respect mate.
Another great AdventureShawn Vlog Shawn mate and well done for climbing Ben Nevis 👍🏻
Thank you very much
AdventureShawn you are welcome Shawn mate 😊
Done it a few times. first when I was about 10 and last when I was 15. I only saw the view once from the top, other times it was cloudy. You should do the walk up Mt Snowdon and then treat yourself to the train on the way down ;)
Thank you!
This is amazing! The editing, all the different shots, the music, everything was just amazing! Who would’ve known that watching someone climb a mountain could be so entertaining!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Malachi Braydon Instablaster :)
@Augustus Michael thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Augustus Michael It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
Love your energy, makes me happy! God bless!
Thank you!
A very big well done to you. I did the Watkin path on Snowdon a couple of years ago and Ben Nevis was by far harder for me, I struggled a lot, but saying that, the sun was absolutely scorching the entire way up and I actually got very badly sunburnt! That meant the views I got were amazing the whole way up, down and at the peak which I am extremely grateful for! It took me a good 6 hours going slowly and resting every so often to finally reach the peak but I am so glad I did it! Like you say, challenging but absolutely worth it for the exceptional views and the experience. Fantastic vlog Shawn, I actually have watched this quite a few times to get a good idea for the climb and now since doing it a few days ago I have watched it again to put it into perspective even more. Love your positive attitude, once again, a big well done :)
Thank you!
Great job! Fabulous video. Thank you for sharing! Love your adventures. I’ve been watching them as I work out and you are inspiring me to get in shape and get out there.
Thank you!
Well Done Shawn! As a long time follower of TPW who also loves hiking & hill walking this was great to watch! You did the right thing bringing a map & compass as well as some extra layers because you never know what could happen so well done for doing a bit of research!
If you do want to try some more mountains the best way to help your knees on the descent is a pair of anti shock walking poles, as well as some proper hiking boots. You don’t have to spend thousands of pounds as even some cheaper ones are better than nothing if you’re just starting out! And instead of jeans I’d wear something that drys a little quicker incase you get caught in some unexpected rainfall (pretty common in Scotland).
Another popular mountain to climb up here is Ben Lomond which gives great views of Loch Lomond & the mountains beyond on a clear day. Its only an hours drive from Glasgow so it’s easy to reach & well worth a visit.
Hope to see you out on the hills some day enjoying our stunning country! 🏴
Thank you for sharing these suggestions!
Absolute brilliant content Shaun, really enjoyed watching your journey.
Thanks Karl
Well done Shawn, what a brilliant achievement and fantastic video to go along with it, i really enjoyed it :)

Thank you for this video! I am planning on climbing Ben Nevis although I think it may have to wait till next year, as I am not experienced with the winter conditions. I haven't seen such a detailed video before of the mountain path, I am so glad I came across yours! 😀
Thank you for watching!
Brilliant adventure video Shawn.
Thanks for watching!

Fantastic, well done Shawn! I've climbed above 1,950m on a few occasions in France and it was hard work but well worth the effort.
Thank you!
