Biggest challenge from doing the Award:
The weather was the biggest challenge, walking with our heavy packs in the humid mountains in heavy rain meant we were hot when beneath lots of trees but very cold when we reached the peak of the mountain. As well as that, everything got very wet.

Tell us the story behind your photo:
We were hiking up the a mountain to get to a meadow and we took a shortcut which led us up the steepest trail, and the views were incredible. After that we took a picnic break up at the meadow and enjoyed the March sunshine.
