The Running Channel, Taking On The RAMSAY ROUND Pt 2 | Running Up the UK's Highest Mountain

Taking On The RAMSAY ROUND Pt 2 | Running Up the UK's Highest Mountain

- So it's the morning of day three.

I'm just about to go downstairs and meet,

with the rest of the team so that we can go to the

youth hostel.

Yeah. It's a big day today.

We get, we summit Ben Nevis and we're a team today.

So we're doing everything together, which is really,

really important.

It's really important that everyone gets that team

experience.

And we do as much as a team as we can.

And then we come off the hill.

There's probably gonna be lots of emotions today.

We're tired, it's the end of the challenge,

but I'm really excited to get out there with the guys

and bag some Munros. So I guess we ought to get doing it.

Start your watch.

So this is what's known as Heartbreak Hill to Lochaber Athletics Club.

- Nethilee, they do reps up here. - Imagine, imagine.

Can you imagine, this is why these Scottish athletes

are smashing FKT's,

so they have have hill efforts like this.

It's crazy.

We're just taking it stone at time.

(chatter)

I know I say it so much, but

this is just the most beautiful

part of the world.

And us doing this,

if it is around and about and circulated really widely,

and if it makes one little black child

think, "oh,

those are people that look like me that are on a mountain."

Then I wanna have a go at doing that.

Job done.

Because you know, we say it a lot,

but you can't be what you can't see.

And the more people of colour that feel that these spaces

are accessible,

and that they have the skills

or they learn from people like

Elsa.

What skills they need in order to feel really safe.

Being in these spaces, job done, job done.

We'll see more people enjoying these beautiful

spaces, more representation globally,

of what the population really looks like.

So we just came up and we were looking out. We were like,

oh, it's the edge.

But that's not the edge. That's snow.

That's snow.

So we have to go across. Oh look.

There's people coming down, sliding down the snow.

Wow. Look at this.

People in snow.

Scotland in June,

Snow.

Snow in June?

(cheering)

This is mad.

- Genuinely thinking about my life and choices I've made.

And why I'm here.

I wanted to get to this point for years.

It's the only peak of the UK,

I haven't climbed of the three and I'm overwhelmed.

Overwhelmed.

- Representation matters.

- It matters, it does

- You know? I just think that yeah,

for black children seeing this,

these pictures and this video, it might make them think,

"my God, there are people like me,

climbing the highest point in the UK,

it's a team of men and women.

And maybe I can do that". That's what it's about.

Doesn't matter if you're black, one or a thousand like,

we're here. This place is for black people,

white people, you know, but yeah.

Representation matters doesn't it?

- Inspiring others and inspiring

the next generation as well.

All rolled into one.

- Zukie? If you could have anyone up here with you now,

who would it be? Other than us?

- Just you guys.

- Just us, no one else?

- Probably my daughter.

- Yeah man.

She's gonna watch this and say, my daddy,

my daddy was there. I'm gonna go.

- I know. Hopefully she'll be inspired.

- Yeah.

- Bring her up one day,

and tell her all about Black Trail Runners.

She knows a little bit but I'd tell her a bit more.

- And Nethilee's gonna come back up later with her

son, we know that.

Getting to the top of Ben Nevis,

the highest point in the UK as a team was so emotional.

The moment felt as huge as the mountain itself. To have six

black people together as a team on the summit,

showing that the outdoors is for everyone and hopefully

inspiring others to follow in our footsteps.

As we were with Charlie Ramsay's, was the pinnacle of a tough

three days. For Nethilee,

she had completed her own personal goal for the day.

Simba was also nursing a bit of an injury by this point.

So the pair of them headed down off the mountain with the

Girls on Hills guides,

as the rest of us pushed on with the route across some

pretty tough terrain along the CMD Arête.

Look where we've come from?

That's just like, I can't,

this is unlike anything I've ever experienced.

It's just.

Black Trail Runners. Black Trail Runners.

Wow. This is amazing.

So we're on the fourth,

4,000 mountain and we're just looking at where we

started on Monday- on Tuesday, first hill, we ran all,

all, all, all , all of that.

And then today we've run up the Ben,

down across the ridge, up, down there,

over here.

Oh, it's just, can't believe it.

Can't believe it.

We're just making the decision now on what we do,

whether we continue on to the great quarries, which are

these ones here, and do these, or whether we call it a day.

So we're gonna see how the team feels,

but it just feels so good to have done the 4,000s.

It just means a lot

So we've just come off the round and we're making our way

back to Glen Nevis.

We've completed four of the four thousands and

grade one scramble across corner corn-

I can't even say it,

but I'm really happy with what we've done.

I'm really pleased.

Everyone is really happy.

And those Munros that we haven't bagged are a reason to

come back.

So we're just making our way back now,

towards Glen Nevis, towards the youth hostel,

finish up for the day and have baths, refuel,

et cetera.

Yes. Refuel, recover.

Go again.

- How you feeling about seeing the rest of the guys

at the end of what's been an epic three days?

- Excited,

and can't wait to see how tired that they will be,

but very excited to see and that they've got this far.

- And how does it feel to have finished?

- Wonderful. Yeah.

- Yeah. But sad, sad,

because we won't be together tomorrow and we won't be in the

mountains again tomorrow. So it's very, very sad to be fair.

- It was quite an emotional moment as well

at the top of Ben Nevis.

- It was. Yes, yes.

- Describe to me how you felt there?

- I couldn't- I was lost for words, to be fair,

very lost for words. But then after reflecting, I was like,

yeah, this is a very big moment, but lost for words.

3, 2, 1, go.

- Yeah you can stop the watch now they ain't running.

(chatter)

- Thank you so much.

Thank you. You too. Thank you.

Thank you, come here.

I know, come here.

(chatter)

(chatter)

- Isn't it smooth and lovely, doesn't it smell great?

(chatter)

- I knew it would be hard, but I didn't know

it would be that hard.

I'm just immensely proud of the team, of

taking on the challenge. You know,

it sounded like such a crazy idea when I first mooted it

to the co- other co-founders first and then mentioned, you know,

then launched it in the community and then did the first

Zoom.

And it's just, yeah,

I'm just, every single one of the team just showed up in

their full glory and,

and just absolutely nailed what they wanted to nail

and it was just,

I'm just so proud and I'm so grateful to have shared space

with them this week.
