On a crisp November day, I found myself immersed in the picturesque landscapes of the South Coast of the UK, journeying 21 miles from Lulworth Cove to Swanage. This trek wasn't just a personal endeavor; it was a poignant contribution to the M4M March – a movement dedicated to raising awareness for men's mental health, championed by the valiant Mo Bros of Movember.
This venture served as my final bout of rigorous training for the year, a vital preparation for my upcoming 1400-mile expedition along the Rio Negro in early 2024. Laden with a 22kg rucksack, I took on the challenge with resilience and determination, completing the trek in a commendable 7.5 hours.
