West Coast Trail Medal and Mail

 Hullo! In one of the September posts, we said we were going to do the West Coast Trail for The Conqueror Challenge. And we finished it!!


It was only 75.6 km.... so it didn't take long.

And the medal came!!

Oooohhhh... ahhh...

That's the back... the West Coast Trail was originally created so that shipwrecked sailors could hike back to some sort of civilization...

The front is nifty...

It opens up and there is a compass thingie!!

I love it!

Oh... and as a reward... I also got the tiniest little Haribo bag in history! It's a perfect size for a little bear...

I love it too!

And we got mail!!!

It's a postcard from Little Fox... an invitation to a wine cellar... for next time! But honestly... we had another postal strike start in September... and just got a letter that was mailed September 21!!!! It's ridiculous. And it's not over yet... now they are doing rotating strikes...

Our Next Conqueror Challenge...

 Hullo!!! I was going to try and wear all my Conqueror Medals but.. no...


Too many ribbons and... each medal weighs more than me!!

This all started during Covid when we wanted to do the virtual Camino... and then from there... well... it just kept going... Hadrian's Wall... The Jurassic Coast..... then the epic Pacific Crest Trail with Little Fox... and finally the Cabot Trail.

Anyhow... as most of you know... I finished the Cabot Trail last month... and dithered a bit about which challenge to do next... cause there was a discount after finishing... sooo... ready...

We are doing the West Coast Trail!!!

And after we bought that code... we got a discount to buy two more and get a third free... sigh... so we have *cough* three code vouchers waiting in the wings... We better get walking!
