I have blogged about this before on previous posts:
- My 2010 Challenge – What have I agreed to :-/
- First serious training session for 3 peaks challenge
- First injury during training
- Weekend training, Scafell Pike
Well I was all set ready for the 350 mile drive to Fort William this morning, bags packed, walking gear, food, water and everything else I needed for the afternoon climb up Ben Nevis at 3pm.
Unfortunately this never happened, reason? The M1 motorway network was closed. I set off out of the house this morning at 6:30am and filled up with fuel, all was going well, weather was looking good (well in Yorkshire) and couldn’t wait to get to Scotland.
I hit the motorway and it all fell apart from there, I got diverted left, right and bloody centre and the ETA on my sat nav soon reached 4:30pm I would arrive in Scotland. Damn you motorway. I decided to turn back around and even when I decided to do that it still took me 1 hour to get home 36 miles in total I moved in 3 hours.
Gutted.
