7 am. Sunday 27 July 2014- Ramshead Range Kosciusko National Park -3 degrees Celsius
The air is fresh.
The sun is shining.
I unzip my tent. I look around. All I can see is the
clear blue sky and the glistening, fresh white snow.
The view from my tent was perfect.
I zip up my tent and lie back down. I look up and see
the shadows of the snowflakes resting on my tent. A reminder of the day before
filled with blizzards, strong winds and the cold.
Somehow, the hardships of the day before, the physical
and mental struggle, were all worth it.
I look back on that morning fondly. It was truly the
day that re-kindled my love for the outdoors and my passion to share it with
others.
I am often reminded of the quote from the pioneering
environmental activist John Muir – “Thousands
of nerve shaken, over civilised people are begging to find out going to the
mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity”
Come join me on this adventure of sharing my
adventures with the world.
