it was only a matter of time before the wild got the better of me again. can't believe it's already been a year since the intro walk last year. also can't believe how fluke it was to have fallen in love with wilderness*medicine. maybe it's like any love in life - a complete accident and by the time you realise it, it's too late! oh but i'm being overly sentimental now. if i hadn't gone for freshers' fayre with J, and hadn't signed up at the wilderness booth because he did (yeah, i'm weak that way...) and never gone on that first walk... loathe to think of life without wilderness now. this city girl is completely changed, going so far as to have sacrificed my trusty hair-dryer (look ma, i can go on trips without my wella!) but i still need to shower twice a day, which has proved challenging when there's little to no running water in the rustic bunkhouses (or tents) we stay in.
i get ahead of myself.
intro walk tomorrow and trip to bamburgh and holy island in a couple of weeks. how awesome is that! walking around holy island and up cheviot? someone sign me up alreadY!
