What You’re Capable of (With the Right People Around You)

Great Day in the Black Mountains: What You’re Capable of
(With the Right People Around You)

There are days out in the hills that feel like a highlight reel: blue skies, big views, easy miles and a café stop that tastes even better because you “earned it”. And then there are the other days the ones that don’t flatter you, don’t care about your plans, and don’t offer you an easy win.

Yesterday in the Black Mountains was firmly in that second category and honestly, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

It was a great day out with seriously good company.

Everyone who came along has got their eyes on the next challenge, and this was the kind of training that earns its stripes not just physically, but mentally too.

High wind, rain and sleet properly character-building stuff.

And here’s the thing: days like that show you what you’re capable of especially when you’ve got the right people around you.

The Black Mountains was a great experience in hostile weather, good communications kept us well informed.
