Now wouldn’t it be great if we got a small article from every group in the country just to let everyone know that you are there! Communications Team 7 to others that you were successful. Whenever you talk to a belter about What the Explorer Belt is truly their experience, there’s this light in about...is the experience you take their eye and bubbling excitement in from those 10 days on the road that their voice...no matter how long ago you originally dreaded so much. it was. This all makes sense as soon The Explorer Belt Experience And believe me, there is no possible as you have literally walked 200km way you will come off that road in their shoe’s (well maybe not their God, this has to be at least my 8th or 9th attempt at trying to write this. without an experience...whether it’s shoes, but you get the picture!), Where the hell do I even begin, how do I explain both the greatest and good, bad or ugly, it’s going to be there’s like this mutual bond worst experience of my life in a few paragraphs? I mean my log book is the experience of a life time. Before especially between the belters who over 500 pages and I still feel like I have more to tell! To be honest I don’t I had done the belt, I had heard all did it with you. You instantly have think it’s possible to sum up the Explorer Belt into a few words...because the stories... a 100 times (after all something in common and because it’s so much more than anything you can put to paper. Its so many different how do you know someone has of this you make some of the best things, but essentially when you get down to it, what belt really is...is an experience. The belt itself is nothing more than a token or a trophy, proof done the explorer belt? They’ll tell friends in such a short space of you) I thought I had it all sussed out, I mean what’s so complicated... walk 200km, complete a series of project, don’t die. Simple right? God I have never been so wrong! I walked onto this belt with a stubborn mind frame...I had convinced myself that every day was going to be hell, but hey, I just had to survive the next 10 days and I’d have that stupid belt that I wanted so badly. I was completely missing the entire concept of what I was doing! It wasn’t until after Day 1 that all those stories I’d been told really started to make sense to me, that I was suppose to embrace each day, not wish them away, that before no time I’d be sad to be off that road. 8 time. For me that was one of the hardest parts about readjusting to far one of the most difficult challenges normality, those 22 idiots I had to leave behind. From waking up to two I have ever had to face, it was worth of them bickering away every morning back on base camp to everyone every minute! One thing my partner and sitting in the middle of the campsite, quiet as mice, after lights out, in I had said to each other before we took the cold just so we could have the banter for that little bit longer! After that final descend to base camp was all these are the only people who really understand what you’ve been that if we were not willing to change through, unlike your friends at home that refer to it as “that walk” or one minute of our experience it doesn’t your parents who called it “your holiday”. God trying to explain what the matter whether we got the belt or not! explorer belt is to these people is as painful as sticking pins underneath And thankfully that was our attitude your fingernails; they just can’t wrap their head around it! Or if I’m really going into each assessment. We were being honest they don’t care enough to try, they think it’s pretty sweet lucky enough to be awarded the belt that you walked the 200km, like that’s a lot right? But you see walking and god damn did it feel good, but is the easy part (when I was first told this my reaction was the exact my point still stands. Don’t go into the same as yours...200km...Easy...yeah good one) and by no means am Explorer Belt looking for a mere belt, go in looking for an experience and you can’t go wrong. To anybody reading this that still has the option to partake in the I belittling the physical challenge, but Explorer Belt, my advice to you would after a few days on the road, your mind be DO IT! Before I went, those who is taken a far worse battering than your hadn’t done the belt told me I’d be an body! The walking is almost therapeutic, idiot if I went, but now I’d have to agree all you have to do is put one foot in front with that list of growing belters, you’d be of the other, for a brief moment there an idiot to miss hands down the greatest is no worries of where you’re going experience of your life.
