Look How Far We’ve Come

Look how Far We’ve Come

This picture is based on the arete that leads up onto Ben Nevis. But really it tells the story of many days on the hill with my family at the point when my children or even me myself don’t want to or feel we can’t go any further. You are tired and it is all getting a bit scary as your legs are not as fresh and strong as they were earlier in the day. Then you look behind you and WOW - Look how far we’ve come! My wonderful husband often says that at just the right time and this declaration gives you the strength to feel an accomplishment already and to keep going till you reach the top. As with so many things in life it is about perseverance to achieve the goal and about keeping going.
