The Impossible List
What is an Impossible List?
In short, the impossible list is a list that is used to declare and track goals that benefit yourself and others. The difference between this and a bucket list is this encourages you to tick things off now! A bucket list holds the things we hope to achieve before we die (looking backwards), whereas, an impossible list is something we intentionally strive to complete and extend (looking forwards).

This video explains the concept really well:

    Travel Goals
  • Wild-camp in the Lake District 1 night trip
    [add image]
    Hiked from Windermere Station accross to Coniston. Then pitched my tent at Wast Water (tarn high up on the 'Old Man of Coniston'). At 10pm as it was getting dark I had to 'evacuate' as I was in the clouds of a storm brewing- my tent could not handle it and nor could I. Scrambled down the slate mountainside to the YHA Hostel nearby. It was too late to get a room so precariously pitched my tent nearby- locals are more strict as it's land used for mining. Learnt a few lessons that trip...definitely be more prepared in terms of plan, weather, contingencies and gear.

    2 night trip
    Chris and I wild camped for 3 nights on our Cumbria Bike Packing trip (August 2020). The weather and limited light meant we had to camp at the base of Hardknock Pass (The Lake District). We then sneakily camped at Tarn Hows on the second night; probably my favourite camping spots in the UK...stunning!
