What an incredible journey this was, from the short climbs, on a very wet start in Cornwall, to the emotional finish through Scotland's deserted windy highlands. With storm Alex arriving on day 3 (obviously blowing in from the North!), days of constant rain and emotional meltdowns to rival any DA trip! Ongoing logistical challenges in the form of another lockdown chasing our tail - just to add to the excitement!

During lockdown, we were thrilled to be able to keep in touch with our DA Family online. We talked on our Facebook page daily, we reminisced and shared pictures. People told us their stories, and one of those standout stories was when Victoria told us about how she met her soon-to-be Husband on our Everest Base Camp trip back in 2018.
