Can you ride down Ben Nevis?
The trail is a walkers route and might have one or two people on it but there are not many cross drains and the riding is nicely technical without being too tricky or too steep. Watch out for a little bridge and wooden steps but it's all rideable otherwise.
Can you drink the water on Ben Nevis?
You can drink from the streams but the water is not tested and there is no guarantee of its purity. Just remember that some days there are over 1000 people on the mountain and there are no toilet facilities. To be safe take bottled water, at least 2 litres per person on a sunny day.
