I don’t think any of us will ever be the same (good thing) and hopefully, lessons learnt will be long term and not swept under the carpet as our normal luxuries return. (no problem with luxuries, just with understanding and reality).

What we all achieved is taking its time to filter through my being and as the days tick by I feel that I have been challenged more than I realised. My decision never to do something like this again has dissolved and I find myself thinking about the Annapurna Circuit! I really am so glad I did the trip now and I really do feel I have had my life enriched on so many levels.

The journey was amazing, perhaps more difficult than I thought but you get into a rhythm and by the last day I was walking for 12 hours.
