Journey or Destination?


As I sit down on my bed, nursing the damaged ligaments in my knee, the adventure is over.

Although the ending was not quite as I had hoped for, my climbing trip to the Mont Blanc range can be thought of as being successful. Why would I look at it as being successful when in reality I never reach the summit, irrespective of any reason preventing me from doing so?

Well, the answer is all about being positive. I might not have reached the summit (reasons and explanations will be given out in subsequent chapters of this story) but I experienced adventure that few people I know would dream of. I have scaled new heights - literally, physically and mentally. I have made new friends, discovered new talent and above all learnt more about myself and what I am capable of and what skills I need to develop.

But most of all I've learnt that at times it's all about the journey not the destination!
