Impossible List - 15 May

Day Five: Dream Homes, Cherry Blossom, and Andy's Complicated Feelings About His Wife
No snow. I awoke to absolutely no snow. The tops of the hills were white, I could see that much, sitting there looking smug from a distance, but down where we were, camping in the cold like a pair of optimistic idiots, there was nothing.
Day Four: Trail Names. River Crossings and the Met Office Lying To My Face
We set off expecting the worst. The forecast had been grim, the clouds were doing their thing, and we were fully suited up before we'd even left the hotel.
Day Three: The Tactical Retreat That Was Actually Quite Sensible
We woke up refreshed. This was unexpected and very welcome.
Day Two: Glen Noe, or The Part Where We Question Everything
Day two of any multi-day walk is when the romance wears off and the realism moves in.
The Adventure Begins
There's a moment, just before you start a big walking adventure, where you stand at the trailhead and feel a profound sense of possibility.
