Let’s set the record straight on the Three peaks training!
Wednesday 16 September 2009
Ok, so our Three Peaks training walk didn’t go quite as planned last weekend, if you call climbing the wrong mountain a failure. But, here are some of the positives:
Firstly, it was a cracking curry on the Friday night which was in itself well worth the 6.5 hours drive that the girls made to get to the Lakes (did I mention that there was an issue with map reading here as well?).
Secondly, and most importantly, – we did still climb a mountain, be it a slightly smaller one than planned. This is good news, and allowed us to gain a new perspective on Scafell Pike.
Thirdly, Russ did not break a leg in his courageous attempt to cross the river, so onwards and upwards from here.
Lastly, the early finish meant that I got home in time for a glass of Pimms and the X factor.
On a serious note, this was an invaluable exercise with some big learnings for all of us – the main learning being the importance of being able to read a map!
