I love going away for short trips of two or three days. It's easy to imagine how great it would be to have a longer adventure holiday - a few weeks sailing across an ocean, or hiking through a jungle, for example - but you can still have an adventure even if you only have a much shorter time to spare. You can spend one or two nights sleeping outdoors and do something like climb a mountain or go surfing. The possibilities are endless! There's a mountain a few hours away from the city where I live, which I've always wanted to climb. I had a free weekend, so I decided to go for it and made a list of the things I would need to take. At the end of the week, I set off after work. After a long drive, I reached the campsite which I had booked for the weekend. While I was having a meal at the café there, I chatted to some of the other campers. There was one really interesting person I met who I'm definitely going to keep in touch with. The next morning, I must admit, I was feeling a little nervous. I set off early to allow me time to get to the top and back down before it got too dark. There were various routes up the mountain, but l'd already chosen one which most suited my level of fitness. Only yesterday, l'd been in the office, my head full of work. But on the mountain, I realised that being in a different place was helping me to feel much calmer. I reached the top, and was grateful for the energy food bars l'd put in my rucksack. The climb had been really steep, but I loved having a physical challenge. Then I headed back down to the campsite where I enjoyed the best sleep I've had in ages. The next day, I packed up, ready to return home. My adventure was over, but I knew I'd soon be planning another one! ...................................................................................................................................................... . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
