Journey

Journey is the story of the ambition, pain and euphoria of an incredible achievement: a non-stop run along the highest mountain range in the world, alone. Lizzy Hawker has always run, and run far - and it is the mountains, and specifically the lure of the Himalayas, where she has found the greatest paths, and her greatest challenges. In 2016 Lizzy made a life-long dream come true: A journey on foot through the highest mountain range in the world.In 42 days of constant running Lizzy became the first person to run the full length of the Great Himalaya Trail's highest pass, a staggering 1,000 miles with 100,000m ascent, crossing twelve 5,000m passes in less than 42 days carrying nothing but the bare essentials.Battling excruciating blisters, a horrifying episode of snow-blindness - leaving Lizzy without sight for over thirty-six hours - and running through hunger and severe drowsiness, one of Britain's finest ultra-runners, Lizzy Hawker, took on a challenge beyond the realms of the imagination.In a vivid account of this remarkable record, Lizzy describes how she conquered her fears and traversed what few others have come close to achieving.
