Thanks to my friend Ben Fairhall for finding this:http://ben-fairhall.blogspot.com/

I don't believe Rhys-Jones when he says he missed the Ben Nevis summit by accident. I know several pople who've climbed that mountain and they say that it's very obvious where the top of it is, even if you're covered by the clouds. Was it really that hard to find for goodness sake!? My guess is it's another con. They were constrained by the shooting schedule and so just opted for a fast one and hoped nobody would find out. It's actually very dishonest to shoot a scene that you tell the viewer is the highest spot on Britain, and it's actually not so. But it feels like that doesn't matter any more to the media.
