Well, this is something new…….
I am sat in the passenger seat of my friends car doing 70+ MPH on the M6 Motorway travelling on my way to Edinburgh; while typing this blog. My iPad is tethered to my phone for 4G and my voiceover is bluetoothed through the car stereo. So I need to be careful with what I type, as my driver can hear EVERY word.
So, why am I travelling to Edinburgh?
After an already long car journey I am beginning to ask myself the very same question.
We are making this journey because through the powers of networking on Facebook, I was put in touch with a climber who has a visual impairment, like me. It just so happens that this climber is a member on the Paraclimbing team for Great Britain….
Can you see where I am going with this?
THIS IS MY NEXT CHALLENGE!
I am not just meeting with him for coffee, I am actually travelling all this way to take a chance; to take my opportunity to maybe, just maybe, be something much bigger than me. Something that will show my children that my disability hasn’t stopped me from going after a dream. That actually for the past two and a half years my climbing skills may actually get me somewhere.
If you haven’t guessed already, I shall explain.
I am travelling to Edinburgh, because tomorrow at 11am I shall be entering into the 2017 Paraclimbing team competition within the sensory loss category. Which is taking place at The Edinburgh International Climbing Arena….
Hence the 440 odd mile drive!
And actually, as I type this, the realisation of what I am doing Has FINALLY dawned on me.
” Tomorrow I will be competing to join the GB Paraclimbing Team!”
TOMORROW, I WILL BE COMPETING TO JOIN THE TEAM GB PARACLIMBING TEAM!
WoW ….. Tomorrow, I WILL BE …..
Oh my DOG, I am actually doing this ……
Great. Hope you had a good journey. Looking forward to meeting you. 😎
