Join Team Cosgrove on June 11 2017 to climb Britain’s highest mountain!
At 1,345 metres (4,412 ft) above sea level, Ben Nevis is the highest point of the British Isles.

There is a team of experienced mountain guides who'll be with you every step of the way.

Cosgrove will help you with your fundraising page, training tips, tell you what kit you need and give you a T-Shirt too!

Fundraising executive Helena Winocour said: “Since organising this event we have been amazed at the amount of people who want to climb Ben Nevis- what a great way to do it -as part of a group with experienced guides. Our new Chief Executive, Heather Gray, is coming too!”
