Absolutely the feeling of watching the Cape Brett sunset with our group. We were living in the moment, there was no stress and nothing to worry about. It was serene.

Biggest challenge from doing the Award:
Leaving the Cape Brett hut was difficult. I had worked so hard to get there and spent the majority of my time there sleeping. Leaving such a beautiful place after such a short time to explore was certainly disappointing. I will be back!
