The climb is hard, but the view is great

A 100 miles later, with hurting knees and blisters all over our feet we crossed the finish line in Carlisle last Friday. We both crushed mental barriers and climbed too many hills, but we did it. We survived Explorer Belt with just a pinch of stubbornness.

After playing cricket, watched the rest of the group play around at the local swimming pool, done some gardening at Susan's farm (and met local scouts from Carlisle), had an awesome and fun day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach we travelled to Yr Hafod (a scout center) in Wales to spend three days just to relax until we continue our trip back to England.

The surroundings here is just breathtaking and when you've climbed the rocks and hills the view's amazing. I wished we could stay here for longer, although the upcoming days attract me.

Yesterday me and Amanda took "a stroll" and ended up on the other side of a massive hill after climbing a bunch of rocks. I love the fact that the sheep just wandering around here, enjoying themself and can as us - relax.

Still I can't understand that this is a part of our Explorer Belt, that we get this opportunity to see all of United Kingdom and I can't understand that nature created all of this.
  Today me, Anna and Johanna decided to explore a waterfall nearby and we ended up climbing it. This hill climbing never seems to end, but now I love it instead of fear it.

Tomorrow we'll be leaving Wales behind, but first we all need to have dinner. Karl surprised us with flipping his pancakes in the air, just look how focused he is!

 

Take care, wherever you might be
