Writing this as more of a warning to my fellow solo trail runners out there who like doing long trail runs by themselves in the middle of no where.

DO NOT MAP YOUR ROUTE YOURSELF IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE AREA!!!

This morning my ego got the better of me and, long story short, I got stuck on the side of a ridiculously steep mountain with no path. It took 2 hours of climbing along the side of a huge cliff/mountain thing to get out.

I drew the route out myself based on some similar ones on all trails thinking it would be fine because I have done the same thing before. It was not!!

Anyways learn from my mistakes, even if you have to do the same boring route that you always do it is a lot better than dying :)
