Greetings from Spain! Yes I decided to take a two week break following the three peaks challenge which I got back from on Monday morning.
The scenery in Scotland Wales and England was beautiful and I found climbing the mountains fairly easy. There wasn´t much chance for sleep in between travel and climbing but I got through the three days reasonably well coming out at the end much less tired than I would have thought. Nature in those places is still fairly pristine and I could drink straight from the streams and lakes as I climbed. When i got down from Scafell Pike I went for a skinny dip in the lake which was freezing cold but much needed refreshment having spent the whole day climbing.
I´m now in a place called Campersol which is a town full of brits. I´m out here visting my parents who live in a small village out in the wilderness which is much more laid back and tranquil. Maybe I will move out here myself one day because lets face it I´m never going to be able to afford a mortgage in the uk at thier prices!!
I hope everyone is ok - I haven´t had a chance to catch up on all the threads because I´m in an internet cafe' and haven´t got the money to spend ages trawling through all the posts.
Well, as I said, hope everyone is doing fine, no doubt you will hear from me upon my return.
Peace!
