At half past seven yesterday morning, I stepped well, staggered off the Caledonian sleeper train at Euston Station. I was bone-tired. My legs no longer worked properly and the vision in my right eye was blurry, accompanied by a familiar dull throb.

Fed up? Not a bit of it. I was euphoric. Over the weekend I had climbed Ben Nevis, trudging through wind, rain and snow, then spent the following day sea kayaking and seal spotting off the west coast of Scotland. It may have used up almost every scrap of energy I had, but boy was it worth it!

Because a few years ago, I would not even have dared to dream it was possible.
