Walking 7:00:00 [2] 23.27 km (18:03 / km)
shoes: Salomon
Art O'Neill Challenge 2014
I was a navigation guide for one of the groups for the mountain section of this 53km ultra race/walk, following the escape route of two prisoners from Dublin castle in 1592. The day didn't start off well when I got up at 3am and tried to make hot chocolate by pouring the milk into a saucepan and putting the saucepan in the fridge. Oops. How was I going to lead 15 people across the wild Wicklow mountains in the dark and fog!? Luckily things improved after that. Conditions were tricky for navigation for the first hour - dark and foggy - followed the compass. The sky started to brighten as we reached the first ridge and conditions were perfect after sunrise, cold with blue sky and seemingly unlimited visibility. We had a great group and the biggest challenge was keeping everyone together. All-in-all a fun experience.
