Finally - our first summit of the day, and just as we arrived the cloud further broke up revealing tantalising glimpses of the world below. Just epic in every way.
This poor bloke approached us shortly afterwards to ask what summit he was on. When we confirmed it was Great End he ruefully admitted he had been here already that day and thought he'd reached Scafell Pike! He must have somehow been turned in the earlier low cloud which just goes to show how the conditions can play havoc!

The People's Summit was held in Detroit from June 14-17, 2009 to counter the National Business Summit held at the Renaissance Center downtown.
The NHS Values Summit brings together a diverse range of people and perspectives to create a greater understanding of how people’s differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
It challenges and inspires people to think about the role of ethical leadership in improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, staff and patients and how the NHS can increase the social value of its activities.
Welcoming representatives from health and social care, alongside more than 20 partners from the voluntary and community sector, this event (in Leeds, Yorkshire) was a template for future NHS Values Summits, which will be held twice a year in different locations across the country. Each event will explore a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights. The next gathering will take place in May 2013.
The Summit was attended by the prime ministers from the region, comprising of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
EBRD President Sir Suma Chakrabarti and UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond opened the event with key note addresses. After a prime ministers’ session government ministers, political decision-makers and leading entrepreneurs and investors took part in three discussions. The panels debated the development of transport links, the potential for renewable energy and the privatisation agenda in the Western Balkans.
The EBRD-backed SEE Link, an innovative regional platform for trading securities listed on the Bulgarian, Croatian and Macedonian stock exchanges, was launched during the Summit. The Serbian and Slovenian bourses confirmed their intention to join the initiative during the conference in London, boosting regional integration of capital markets.
The event aimed to highlight investment and business opportunities in the region and promote the inflow of foreign direct investment and cross-border projects. Participants had the opportunity to engage directly with key political and business representatives.
The Summit follows the first Western Balkans Investment Forum at the EBRD in February 2014 which for the first time had brought together all prime ministers from the region.
The EBRD is one of the largest investors in the Western Balkans and last year alone the Bank invested around €1 billion in various projects from energy efficiency to infrastructure and from support for financial institutions to agribusiness
