Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Last third of Snowdon to go, now at 4650/7120 - hope to be done within the week, the view is great, hope the summit's not covered in cloud!! - pushing onwards and upwards
Thinking of next challenge...... might stick with the mountain theme

Happy flights to everyone!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Climbed a real hill first thing this morning before work - started 250ft climbed to 1,800ft - total steps up and down on pedometer 6,342 - I'll say 3,000 were the uphill (SO good to be hill walking again - even if it was my first for a looong time and I felt it - I'll be BACK SOON!!)

Snowdon (7120 steps) completed for me now with 530 steps to spare which I will put towards:

Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland .....so 530/5390 steps

happy Karen

Oh wow! I see you up there in the distance... I'm only at 570 (steps). I post my progress in my siggy... in flights though. Right now at 38 flights. Looks like you'll be finished in no time, if not already.

I was at a friend's house yesterday, they live in an apartment on the 16th floor. I decided out of the blue, to take the stairs both times I went up. My wife kinda made fun, but who cares, I'm almost at my first goal!
182 steps to the top floor.

364 that day. call it 365
