862 to Kathmandu

This is where it all got a bit more serious.

What started as a simple idea (actually, something of a massive impulse buy), to run somewhere utterly extraordinary and have the trip of a lifetime, ended up turning into something so much bigger. It wasn't just the distance, or the terrain, or the culture shock, but what it asked of me along the way. The physical side was one thing. The mental side was something else entirely.

Once I got back to the UK after this, my first BIG adventure, I wrote 862 to Kathmandu to capture that properly. Not just the highlights, but the doubts, the decisions, and the moments where things could easily have gone another way. And sometimes when they didn't go quite as planned (do they ever go that way?)

It’s not a perfect story, but it’s an honest one.

And if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you take something on that feels just (or even WAY) beyond you… this is where you’ll find out.
