A World Away From All Your Digital Tech

In this fast-moving world where we constantly have a connection to our favourite piece of digital tech maybe our phone, tablet or games console. The flat-screen TV mounted on the wall at home bombarding you with broadcasting gems of today and the radio always on in the car. As a tech addict myself it is challenging but refreshing to have a weekend where you have no option – no tech allowed. The rules of the Highlander Mountain Marathon I took part in is that you have no technical help or access to any device and you are focused on navigating around the snowy Scottish mountains in a team of two with your tent and everything you need on your back. The teamwork, the challenge and escape to another world (photos below) for a couple of days is the best lift you can have.

All you have is a map – where’s my GPS when I need it?

I am not suggesting everyone does a Mountain Marathon but try and leave behind your digital connections for a couple of days, just experience life as it was. It is refreshing in a world where digital addiction has the potential of becoming a problem.
