Winning the competition to walk the TMB? Unbelievable, what an opportunity! A challenge? As a walker in the UK I thought it would be totally manageable. However, the TMB pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of achieving. In my wildest dreams I never thought I could climb vertical ladders, cross rope bridges over fast flowing rivers or descend with steep 1 km drops but I did it! The hike was technical with plenty of heights and challenges on the terrain. It was the most amazing hike I have ever undertaken. The group was fun and the guide was so knowledgeable and supportive. That, coupled with the mountain scenery made the whole trip just totally awesome, such a very special challenge. How lucky was I!
