Climb Snowdon From Home Height: 1085m Ascent: 922m Stairs to the top: 4610
How many steps? - You’ve picked your challenge, now here’s how to calculate how many steps you need to climb! • Measure your stairs • Start by measuring the height of one step (in my house they are 19 cm) • Then count the number of steps in your home (I have 13 steps) • Multiply the height of step by the number of steps (19 x 13 = 247) • Calculate the steps • Now turn the height you are climbing from metres (m) into centimetres (cm) • Snowdon is 1,085 m is 108,500 cm • And the final calculation is the height in cm (108,500) divided by the height of your stairs (247 cm) • Snowdon stair reps – 108500 / 247 = 439.27 (So rounded up 440 reps) • Take your time •Warm up with stretches/exercise. • How to keep count of your steps • Use a counter app on your phone (I did this) • Make a tally chart at the top of your stairs • Don’t take risks • Take your time, split the challenge up across the week and think about what to wear on your feet so that you don’t slip. • Don’t stop at the end of your hike • Get your tents out and set up a wild camp in your garden or house, whatever works for you and let the adventure continue! • The important thing is to have fun. |

BBC Bitesize – Mental Health Awareness Week - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhkybdm But by doing something nice for those around you, you can brighten up their day - and yours!
Seven days of kindness • Day 1: Make a cup of tea for someone in your family Just remember to ask them how milky they like it and whether they take sugar. • Day 2: Send someone you haven’t seen in ages a letter or a postcard. If you’re feeling creative, why not personalise the postcard with your own handmade design? It could be a happy memory of something you did together. • Day 3: Donate food or clothes to people in need. As recycling centres start to reopen in some areas, it will be easier for you to donate good quality clothes. Please don’t leave bags outside closed charity shops. • Day 4: Bake a cake or some biscuits to cheer someone up. As well as getting to eat some delicious food, you might find the baking itself quite calming. Just remember to switch the oven on. We’ve all made that mistake before… • Day 5: Ask your parents for a chore that would really help them out. They’ll really appreciate that you’re thinking about how to make their lives a little easier at a stressful time. • Day 6: Video call someone you know is feeling a bit lonely. If you feel awkward just video calling someone for a chat, why not turn it into a game of some kind? Or read a book together? • Day 7: Be kind to yourself and spend some time on you. Being kind to yourself is just as important as being kind to others. Do things that you enjoy doing and that you know help you to feel calm and relaxed. |
