CLIMBING MOUNTAINSCLIMBING MOUNTAINS
If one of your hobbies was climbing mountains, what would you expect to find at the top? For example, wild flowers, snow, or possibly other people mountaineering, etc. Read On:-
*************************************************
Conservationists are struggling to explain how a piano came to be at the top of Britain's highest mountain Ben Nevis.
The paino was broken up by volunteers
Volunteers clearing litter from Ben Nevis this weekend discovered the instrument - which is believed to have been on the mountain for 20 years - 600ft below the summit.
Nigel Hawkins, director of the John Muir Trust, a Ben Nevis conservation charity, said: "Our guys couldn't believe their eyes.
"At first they thought it was just the wooden casing but then they saw the whole cast iron frame complete with strings.
"The only thing that was missing was the keyboard - and that's another mystery."
A biscuit wrapper with a best before date of December 1986 was found under the piano, giving a clue to when it was taken up the mountain, but not why.
Sandy Maxwell, organiser of the volunteer group, said the piano was the largest, heaviest and most unusual object they had ever found on the mountain, which is 4,418ft high.
She said: "We have a constant battle against litter being left on Britain's highest mountain - but this elevates being a litter lout sky high into a completely different category."
After finding the piano, the volunteers broke it up and asked around 30 members of the public to help carry bits off the mountain.
Note: Maybe it was someone's idea of a party venue with a difference, ha, ha!

Very confusing Sylvia. I can't think why anyone would want to do that let alone how they did it.

That's lovely Ken but I seem to upset you quite often. It really isn't intentional.
