An impromptu Saturday morning text from some friends resulted in Sarah and I dashing out of bed, scoffing down some breakfast, packing a day sac and off we went to the beautiful Peel Forest.
Our mission for the day was to get to the summit come hell or high water, we went for it and to say we under estimated the challenge was an understatement! considering we may have had a couple too many wines the night before perhaps climbing a mountain was not the best idea.
However we got there - dragging Sarah kicking and screaming to the top we can now say we have ticked that peak off our list and on to the next challenge.
Hats off to my wife though - hung over and no training for the best part of the summer she made it! but that'll teach her!! Perhaps a lazy summer isn't all its cracked up to be, stair walking and walking in general were an issue for quite a few days after.
