Ben Nevis (Scotland)
I made this voyage a long time ago, and do not have documents to which to refer. (I do not remember any more of the name the visited sites for example…)
Also I to you will propose only one overall picture of this marvellous region, which calls me top of its Ben Nevis.
One starts with him, the highest mountain of Scotland, and
consequently of Great Britain. But Scotland has nothing to do with
England, even geologically:
“For
the period of Silurien (443-416 million years before J-C), the
territory which was going to become Scotland belonged to the Laurentia
continent. On the other side of the Iapetus ocean, in the south, was
the Baltica continent. The two continents gradually ran up, joining
Scotland to what was going to become England and Europe. This event is
known like orogenesis calédonienne, and the fault line of Highlands
marks today this junction between the two continents.” (Wikipédia)
I know why this mountain challenged me, it does not have there no trace of human presence at his top, like megaliths or other temples. Finally, it is perhaps for that….
It appears that the Ben Nevis is in the clouds 355 days not year… I had chance, not?
Ah if, places crowned nevertheless…
And with the last news:
The top of the Ben Nevis, the highest mountain of the United
Kingdom, located at the North-West of Scotland and which culminates
with 1.344 meters of altitude: funny of place to discover a piano. It
is however there that fifteen voluntary of association John Muir Trust
come to clean the top discovered the instrument. They launched a call
to witness to include/understand how this piano had been able to be
found there.
“Our guy did not believe their eyes of them”,
brought back Nigel Hawkins, director of association. “Of the beginning,
they thought that it was a trunk out of wooden, but they then saw the
whole of the metal framework as well as the cords.” “The only thing
which lack is the keyboard, and that, it is another mystery. It is
perhaps dissimulated elsewhere on the mountain”, it added.
Derpuis… One found: 20 years ago, it is a group of removers originating in Dundee who had assembled it, achieving this exploit with the profit of a caritative work.
