Wales

Weekend just gone I went to wales for a practise practise of my DOE walk. We only did one day of walking, which was roughly 15km long, but it was over roughly 5 mountains, one of which was the heighest mountain in the southern UK.

The weather was surprisingly decent for wales, except for the wild camp we did friday night, which I got wet in the tent because I didn’t have a mat :(, so I ended up being really cold and sogey, which was horrible.

The walk itself was actually amazing, the first hill that we climbed was the hardest for me, and for most others I talked to. Whether or not that was because it was just after we woke up, and we were cold, or whether it actually was diffecult, who knows. We then walked along the top of the mountains, which was really nice because it was all flat, and really interesting with all the wind, and accasional small waterfall/streams..

The mountains (climbing up wise) were really diffecult for me, and my legs were burning so much, but I always had a smile on my face. It’s made me think of how much I need to improve if I’m to get through another 3-5 days of walking mountains and such, so I’ve started running (and I’m ACTUALLY doing it this time, went running yesterday) and I’m gonna be going to the GYM once or twice a week. Should sort it out.

anyway so yeah, after we finished the mountain walk, we all went back to the place we were staying at for the night to come. We relaxed for a couple hours, and then went out for a night nav, the route was roughly 2-3km I think, not sure. It took us 01:30 - 2 hours to complete in the dark, then in the morning the next day we were told to do it again. The sun was up and we all felt like doing it quickly, so we all ran it, and in the spirit of the sun did it topless ;P, completed it in 25 minutes, which was pretty awesome.

that’s all :D.. kinda a boring update, but ah well. Will update with something exciting when something exciting happens.

P.S; New background
