Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

2018 I attempted to climb Snowdon with friends and family.  I got a good chunk of the way up but had to stop and turn around.  I was so unfit and19stone.  I got back to the visitors centre and made a commitment to myself that some day I will scale the mountain.

The only way is to loose the weight and get fit.

Wild camping trip to Derwent with a great friend was tough.  The walk from the car with my 35lbs on my back to the visitors centre (couple hundred meters slight uphill) I thought I had pulled off more than I could do.  But I got that done and then it was just 1 step in front of the other.  The sense of self pride was amazing when I sat down at the pub literally at the end of the trail the next day. 

Leap frog a while and

I entered a step challenge during Covid and won having averaged 10.8miles a day for 3 months.  And getting so close to getting below 14stone.  I hadn't felt so good, full of energy or slept so well in a long time.

I reached out to a couple of friends about the next challenge.  And this would be to wild camp up Snowdon.  So a bigger longer walk again its going to have to have the 35lbs back pack on.  So training and equipment is needed.  

You need a goal.

I need to conquer Snowdon.  I will conquer Snowdon.

And I will have great friends there with me.  At the moment we are looking at June/July just trying to sync calendars and book time off etc.  

And why not set up a just giving page as well.  Its for a good cause.
