I decided about 2 weeks before results came out that I'd really like to complete a Gap Year before going to University. Law is a really intense course, and career, to go into, so I've decided that if I want to go travelling, I'm only really going to have this one opportunity to do so.
So, I'm going to talk you through a few of my plans.
Firstly, next year, for a few months the title of this blog is going to change. I'm planning on walking all 214 of Arthur Wainwright's fells in just over 2 months, wild camping and B&Bing my way around the beautiful Lake District. And, every week or so, I'll be logging on and talking about the routes I've taken, the weather, the views, etc. I can promise some stunning scenery!
This is all training. By the end of the year, I'm hoping to have completed the 3 peaks challenge; have gone to Sicily with my sister to climb Mount Etna; and train up my school's teams for the Ten Tors Challenge. Maybe I could have another go at the Gold challenge if they need a reserve.
Other things I'm planning on doing are learning to play the violin (something I've wanted to do for years, but have never got around to) and getting shed-loads of work experience. The ideal would to get a 3 or 6 month contract for a firm, and do basic secretarial tasks (and get paid) but that's so incredibly unlikely to happen. So, work experience in the day, and a part time job in the evenings to fund the rest of the challenges that I take on.
That's more or less everything I have at the moment :) Lots more to think about, and I need to get some of these plans finalised. Most importantly, I'm going to be keeping September 2014 free in order to complete my University application and LNAT. Excited!
