IF YOU ALREADY
DRIVE A 4x4 THAT
ISN’T A SUBARU…
...LOOK AWAY NOW.
WHEN YOUR CAR CAN’T, SUBARU CAN.
Unlike other 4x4s, every Subaru comes with our unique
Symmetrical All-Wheel
Drive
system. So every Subaru we make has been made to go where others
can’t. You even get grip in the most adverse driving conditions. Mud, wet elds,
sand, snow and ice. Don’t get stuck with a 4x4 that can’t do what a Subaru can.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
technology, standard throughout the range,

Welcome
Mellbreak kick-started this 7 Summits list
(inset): why don’t you make yours?
See page 44 to ind out how (and
page 26 for plenty of inspiration).
TEAM TRAIL’S
Welcome to
Lists are good. They make you do things. They also make you do
more.
Make a list
of things to do, and you end up being more productive. If I make a list of things to do,
I’ll get them done in half the time. Which leaves time to do more.
When it comes to a list of exciting things – mountains, say – this principle
becomes more enticing. Achieving a goal leaves a vacuum for more goals, maybe
even more ambitious and exciting. But then, that depends on the length of your list.
When your list is the Munros – 282 Scottish mountains – that might be enough
to keep you going for years, and you might not even
want
to do all of them; you
just feel you have to. So why not make your list more personal? More numerically
achievable? How about... oooh, seven? And why not do them in a year? You can
nd out all about this on page 44. And remember:
make
a list – as opposed to
follow
one – and you’re crystallising ambitions, both conscious and unconscious.
When the list fails, intuition takes over. For instance, I was in the Lake District last
month with a morning to spare, and I’d left my list behind. Lacking a phone signal
or internet (with which I could have visited
lfto.com/trail7summits
and
seen what was on the sucker), I didn’t even try to recollect it; the day
was glorious, so I went for a wander up the nearest thing – Mellbreak
– which I’d never been up and always liked the look of. It was fab. And
then I went home, found my list, and guess what? Mellbreak was on it.
I’d started my challenge without realising it. One down; six to go!
