  • Nov 30 An attempt to climb Mt Snowdon!

    I thought i’d share some of my Autumn adventures… so to give you some background on this visit, since leaving Uni I have decided to take on the challenge of getting super fit as this is something I never considered myself as or thought I could be! I’ve been training hard 5/6 days a week, and taken up running. In May 2010 I will be doing the Three Peaks Challenge in order to raise money for Help for Heroes! This challenge consists of climbing the three highest peaks of the UK within 24 hours – Snowdon in Wales, Ben Nevis in Scotland and Scafel in England! This is super hard and will include climbing one mountain in the dark!! If you have a couple of quid to spare, please please sponsor me so I can reach my £450 target!

    So to get a tiny feel for the challenge, my lovely parents decided we’d go and climb Snowdon in Wales! The trip ended up being a right mission as we are at the other end of the country, thus had to get a B&B for the night before! Unfortunately on the way to the bottom of the mountain, the car got damaged and broke down!! We had to sit in a hotel all day waiting to get rescued by the RAC while the gorgeous weather and surroundings teased us! If I hadn’t been in such an amazingly beautiful place I don’t know how I would have stayed so positive :) If you ever get a chance to go, please do – it is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to!
