Ben Nevis via the Mountain Track

Ben Nevis ('The Ben') is the highest mountain in the British Isles, standing at 1,345 meters (4,413 ft) above sea level. Located beside the town of Fort William, the most popular route to the summit is the 'Mountain Track' (historically the Pony Track). Starting near sea level in Glen Nevis, this relentless out-and-back trail demands over 1,300 meters of vertical ascent. The path climbs through verdant lower slopes, crosses the rushing Red Burn, and ascends steep, rocky zig-zags to a true alpine environment. The summit is a broad, boulder-strewn plateau often capped in snow year-round, featuring the ruins of an 1883 meteorological observatory and scenic (if clear) views extending to Northern Ireland.

The Wilderness Coast Walk is a remote, point-to-point coastal trek of roughly 100 km, linking the Merrica River trailhead in South East NSW (Nadgee Nature Reserve) to Mallacoota Inlet in Gippsland, Victoria (Croajingolong National Park). The route traverses expansive sand dunes, sandstone headlands, and coastal heathlands along the Tasman Sea, with optional extensions to Green Cape. Navigation relies on tidal windows and topographic cues, as much of the track is unmarked. The walk passes through critical habitats for species such as the White-bellied Sea Eagle. Permits are required from NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria.
