THREE students and a barman have walked to the summit of Britain’s highest peak with a barrel of ale yesterday and served pints to thirsty climbers.
Dave Cooke, 21, Harriet Allbrook, 21, and 19-year-old Oscar Price spent nearly four hours hauling the nine gallon cask of Tunnel Vision beer to the top of Ben Nevis in Scotland.
As well as the beer, they also took bottles, mats and pint glasses to set up a pop-up bar to serve the hand-pumped Box Steam Brewery-produced ale to climbers at the 1,344 metre (4,406ft) high summit.
The three students, who all come from Wiltshire, answered an advert placed by the Holt-based brewery to take part in the challenge alongside brewery employee Dom Lane.
Brewery managing director Andy Roberts said: “W are hoping that good beer and a spirit of adventure will appeal to thirsty students this term.”
