Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Friday 13th September We hadn’t set our alarms to allow ourselves to lie in after our epic hike yesterday. However, our sore bodies woke us up early still. We got up, got ready and packed up our things and checked out of our accommodation, as we were moving on today. We drove into Whistler village…

Thursday 12th September Our alarms went off at just before 6am having packed our bags for our big day out the night before. We got ready and got on the road in the car for a half an hour drive to the car park for our hike – we were going to be doing the…

Wednesday 11th September We got up early, got ready and packed up our suitcases as we were checking out of our Vancouver accommodation. We checked out and then walked 10 minutes to pick up our hire car for the rest of our trip. We got our car and Harry opted to drive first, we just…

Tuesday 10th September We were up naturally early again this morning, by 6, because our body clocks still aren’t quite adjusted – but it’s allowing us to make the most of the mornings. We walked down to a nearby cafe called Glory Juice Co. for smoothie bowls for breakfast – they were good! We then…

Sunday 8th September We were pretty impressed with ourselves managing to sleep through from 9pm to 6am having expected worse with jetlag!

We’d like to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who followed and supported us on this adventure, whether that be supportive/motivational texts and…

We woke up early due to going to bed so early last night. We got everything packed up in the Airbnb and got ready. We jumped into Boris and Tina drove Harry and I 5 minutes into Thurso for park run at 9:30am. It was a small park run of 85 people and Harry was…

We woke up to our 7am alarm in the cosy cabin in Lairg after one of the best nights sleep we had had most of the trip! We got up, had brekky and got ready for an early leave with 120km ahead of us to cycle. We headed out just after 8am (Beth now with…

We woke up at Sarah and Tom’s, got ready, had some breakfast and then packed up and got in Boris with Tina to drive back to where we finished the route early yesterday near Dores by Loch Ness. The drive took an hour and a half and Sarah and Tom were off work so also…
