Guess what popped into my inbox yesterday? An invite to the final Trail trip – a wild camp, lightning ascent of Scafell Pike and some night nav. Only problem is, in typical Trail style, they’ve given us just over a week’s notice, and I’m already going to a 30th birthday do next weekend. Why couldn’t they have given us all these dates at the start so that we could plan around them?
So my Trail experience ends here. But do you know what? I’m not hugely bothered. I’m only sad that I didn’t/couldn’t achieve all that they wanted for me in the time we had.
As much as I gripe about Trail and the organisation of this challenge, I’ve experienced things in the last five months that I wouldn’t have done otherwise, and I’ve met people who have changed my life for the better, forever.
For that, I have Trail to thank.
