Today we went walking. I did a 20 odd mile challenge walk around the Black Mountains from Crickhowell.
I screwed up. Somehow I completely missed my alarm at 5.45am and ended up making everybody in the group start the walk half an hour late. We got down on the checkpoint times, which were pretty strict and fast, and we reached checkpoint 7 half an hour past the cut-off time. If we had started on time we should have made it, but we were forced to retire, missing the last hill (Table Mountain) and the last 5 miles. Sorry everybody! (Although some might have been relieved?) I had a nice day in the hills though, with superb weather. I’ve been up Table Mtn before, so it wasn’t a peak I had to “bag” anyway. Will they invite me again?
