Operation 425

DannyOnTheRock

I don't know if this is the "done thing" but here goes anyway......

I've found a trail I am aiming to hit but I'm just not fit enough yet. It's not that I won't make it down without having a heart attack.... It's a 425 foot climb up a mountain that I'm worried about.

The ridge the trail runs along looks a lot of fun so I'm gonna be training to make it up there by the end of summer at least!

I'd like to use this as a sort of diary to track my progress and get some tips along the way if that's cool. Banter is welcomed

There'll be plenty of pictures to come and a video of the day too.

Really? I do way more than that from my house to just get to the beginning of my local trails, and they are just relatively low hills.

So where is this mountain?

Lol no not really..... I cocked up..... It's 425 meters not feet. I've climbed up the side of it before with my brother. Took us 4 hours to reach the top which reminds me.... The wind up there is really strong too. Should be fun

So where is this mountain?

It's on Fuerteventura where I live. Let me figure out how to take a photo of the map and I'll post it up here with the planned route.

Is it the Cauldron over near Lajares?
