I walked up….

a mountain today! I still can’t quite believe I did it.

It was much harder than I thought it would be. It rained, it was misty and very windy.

At one point, we could hardly see more than 10 metres in front of us but that was perhaps a good thing because we just put our heads down and kept going. We were raising money for a children’s hospice and we couldn’t let them down.

If I had been able to see how steep the climb was, how high it was and how far away the summit was, I would have turned back. I would have been overwhelmed and doubted it was possible.

I’m so glad I didn’t because after 4 hours we got to the summit and the sky cleared and we could see. It was like wow….I can now see this beautiful view and it was so worth it.

Anyway, this is me near the top and my hair has a life of its own!
