Having completed the Sea to Summit expeditions in Spain and Greece, I was keen to venture further afield and joined the Test Pilot event for climbing Mt Fuji. It was an incredible experience that provided cultural Japan at its finest, a challenging event that was achievable with breath-taking views at the summits of both Mt Asama and Mt Fuji.Before the event began, Rat Race provided pre-trip information which provided a good insight to the challenges ahead, what would be included throughout the expedition including meals provided and transport along with a more indepth itinerary of each day. I asked a few questions about the event of which was responded to in a timely manner.The event was led by Abbi and James who led with great enthusiasm, motivation and professionalism that allowed for this trip to exceed my expectations and achieve the goals of reaching the summit from sea level. Our challenge took us through a variety of landscapes and allowed for Japan to be seen in a more unique way, outside of just the normal tourist accommodation and activities providing a wonderful experience, surpassing expectations. Nothing will beat the views experienced throughout the event and photos taken do not do them justice. These events are perfect for both groups of friends travelling together and solo travellers, like I was. You are made to feel at home from the minute you arrive and included throughout the whole itinerary. Rat Race, Abbi and James provided a truely amazing expedition from beginning to end and I look forward to completing further events with them in the future. I cannot recommend highly enough!
