I just want to say thank you to all that sponsored Rachel Hardy and me on our epic adventure. You know who you are and how important SOLO is to me on a personal level. She smashed her target (see in pics - £2758 every penny to the charity). It was physically really tough hiking up and down mountains 8 hrs ish a day with a super heavy backpack, but our training with Rufus did us well.
We hardly slept, ate badly and barely washed. Basically we went feral. I loved every minute of it. To be hiking above the clouds in all that mountainous beauty, meeting like-minded people, physically exhausted but having a laugh and a beer is what is all about for me. In training now for next year's mountainous adventure. Thanks again. X###x
