Students from a Keighley secondary school aimed for the top during an expedition to reach the summit of the highest mountain in Britain.

Every summer, Oakbank School organises a one-week "Bothy Crawl" expedition to the Highlands of Scotland.

But this year, bad weather in July meant they were unable to climb Ben Nevis.

So a band of determined students and staff returned to Scotland to complete unfinished business.

Deputy head Malcolm Livingstone organised the expedition. He said: "The students were brilliant. Our route involved some very steep ground and we had to keep moving as the sun sets quite early in October and we didn't want to have to come down in the dark.

"The party really rose to the challenge."

Sam Bardett, from year 11, said: "It was really exciting and good fun too.

"It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I won't forget the thrill of standing up there on the summit cairn in a hurry."
