Training for the climb has stepped up and the gym has become my second home!
I may have mentioned previously that when I signed up for the climb that I hadn't done much outside walking or any climbing. That was until a few weeks ago when I, with my friends took a trip toNorth Wales.
On the Saturday we climbedSnowdon(1085m). We took the Snowdon Ranger Path and from the summit took the Rhyd-Ddu path down both of which were routes for the more experienced (unlike me). The next day we marched up Y Garn (947m) for another tough climbs again we took a more difficult route which included some interesting rock climbing.
Again it was an amazing feeling getting to the top and taking in the spectacular views.
Six months ago I would never have imagined climbing a few mountains would be as much fun and I thoroughly recommend it.
UPDATE
28 May I have just come back from theLake District and another few days training.
