So you've done it... You have booked that dream trip of a lifetime, you are finally heading to the mountains! ⛰️⛰️
Surely, a hike should feel easy, right? It's just walking... But then you realise that you will come across:
- lung-busting hills and knee-destroying downhills,
- Rocks, mud, snow, rain and everything in between,
- A heavy backpack that seems to get heavier as the day goes by,
- And that is just the first day... You have 6 more days of hiking to go...
