• Silent Valley • I’ve been wanting to do this walk for a very long time. Slept for several hours after and will take days to recover, but worth it. • • • • #silentvalley #silentvalleyreservoir #kilkeel #northernireland #norniron #ireland #discoverireland #ehlersdanlossyndrome #winterwalks #winterinireland #newyears #christmas #yule

If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know I was quite proud to visit a site recently that has been on a list of things I wanted to complete -The Silent Valley Reservoir/ Mountain Park. We walked for nearly an hour and I used only my cane. I had stories up throughout the trip on social media and took some pretty nice snaps with my DSLR.

It was tough, very tough, I could barely bend afterwards to get back into the car. But extremely glad I achieved what I wanted to; feeling quite proud.

Here's some photos of the day and a video of the aftermath, because it's really only fair to show both sides -I could make everything look pretty and shiny in my life through social media but we all know that's a load of bollox. I do myself and my conditions no justice by not representing the truth. On top of that it's harmful to any young, impressionable zebra out there (or anyone with chronic conditions) who feel like a failure for not living up to what many portray online.
