Ben Nevis Conquered

The Watt family from Histon climbed Ben Nevis during half term to raise money for an orphanage in Zimbabwe. New Life Church that meets in Histon Baptist Church on Sunday afternoons, have links with the project that is in desperate need of funds.

Gemma (13), Zak (10) and Joe (9) took 7 hours to go up and down Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain standing at 1344metres. Joe, who recently won the Battle of the Poets competition representing Histon & Impington Junior School, has written a poem about their experiences.

 

BEN NEVIS

Ben Nevis is

Ludicrously long

Super steep

Helplessly hard

Terribly tiring

 

It is rocky like a rough, raging Rhino

And is GINORMOUS like a giraffe.

It is also taller than a tyrannosaurus rex.

 

BUT

 

It is incredibly exciting

Fabulous fun

Amazingly awesome

It also has a breathtaking view

But the best thing about climbing

Ben Nevis is when you get to the bottom!!!

 

They would like to thank all who sponsored them and helped them raise over £600 for the orphanage.
