I walked there from Fort William, starting about 10:30 AM, together with my father we have reached the summit at 4 PM- quite long but we wasn't hurry. Then going down about 2-2,5 hours.
Something interesting- Did You hear about Ben Nevis Race?-
The Ben Nevis Race has been run in its current form since 1937. It now takes place on the first Saturday in September every year, with a maximum of 500 competitors taking part. It starts and finishes at the Claggan Park football ground on the outskirts of Fort William, and is 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) long with 1,340 metres (4,400 ft) of ascent. Due to the seriousness of the mountain environment, entry is restricted to those who have completed three hill races, and runners must carry waterproofs, a hat, gloves and a whistle; anyone who has not reached the summit after two hours is turned back. As of 2006 the records have stood unbroken since 1984, when Kenny Stuart and Pauline Howarth of Keswick Athletics Club won the men's and the women's races with times of 1:25:34 and 1:43:25 respectively.(Wikipedia)
Amazing.
