Not The Comfort Zone Challenge Days
Do something you are not certain you can do.
Not a race. Not a punishment session. A difficult, well-run experience with enough uncertainty to mean something when you finish.
Why challenge belongs here
A finish that means something.
I have seen people reach the top of their first mountain and stand differently.
At Corrour, the landscape and the scale of the day mattered. Nobody needed a military back story or somebody shouting at them.
They had walked further and climbed higher than they believed they could, helped one another when it became difficult and reached a finish that was unmistakably real.
You cannot manufacture that feeling with arbitrary suffering.
What it should feel like
Hard enough to matter. Well run enough to trust.
The aim is a genuine moment of “I did not know I could do that”. Fitness matters, but the day should not be won by the fittest person while everybody else trails behind.
Current work
Project Resilience.
On 1 May 2027, Spence plans to attempt the full Great Glen Way from Fort William to Inverness in one continuous effort.
Small-group events
The next event is being developed, not dressed up before it is ready.
I am looking at a winter walking and underground challenge for a small mixed-ability group. The route, provider, warm finish and purpose all have to work before I ask anybody to pay for it.
If you want to hear when it is real, join the community or get in touch.
