Piano Found on Britain's Highest Mountain

(2010) For Piano - 5

In 1986 a group of Dundee removal men hauled a piano up Ben Nevis.

Mike Clark, the leader of the expedition, said, "We did the exploit to raise money for the cystic fibrosis charity and also to get in the Guinness Book of Records, but their representatives were late in arriving and said they needed verification that we had carried the piano up the mountain.

"They asked us to carry another piano up the mountain the next day - and we told them they must be joking. We were absolutely knackered but happy we had achieved what we set out to do."
