Well, I went out this saturday to go hill walking with my partner, as it rained so dreadfully, we turned the car around! I now feel like a total drop out cos if we climb snowdon, the weather isn't exactly going to be lovely is it, should have persevered! Feel like I let my challenge down. Feeling bummed you guys!

Just because you turned the car around doesnt mean you failed.  Just do it again another time.  Sometimes you have to think about your safety too, I bet the wind would have been much stronger up a hill! Bet you can kick ass next time! don't get down about it!

Good luck and keep us posted...Kx    DiscoStick 11-17-2009 @ 4:11 PM                           reply Member Joined: Sep 2009 Thanks guys, I have made a plan to drive down to Devon this weekend and do some hill walking, kinda a surprise anniversary pressie from my boyfriend...

In the mean time it is my goal to get really in shape for the climb and maybe move onto kilamonjaro!
