Brilliant!!!! Can just picture you surveying the London Docks from the Dome (I think it's in Dockland, anyway)! Makes me a little homesick!

What are you going for next Jimmie?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

i don't know after the dome. i thought i would do a couple of the fast ones so i feel a sense of accomplishment. i'm gonna have to really work to get to the top of everest!
doing 20 flights a day, average, it will take me 194 days to reach the summit on that one. thats half a year!!!!

maybe i'll do the buildings first...they aren't nearly as tall!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I think I shall set up a challenge for myself. How many flights for Mt Everest?
I have been hitting the stairmaster pretty hard lately. 45 min to 1 hour sessions with a
session last week of 85 minutes (500 flights).
I did (2) 45 min. sessions on Saturday.
I have a stairmaster at home and it is one of my favorite workouts because It doesn't
wear out my body like running. Hiking in the mountians is a great alternative to the stairmaster when the weather is nice!

welcome, jack! if you check out the first post, you will find a link to the paperwork that tells you all the climbs, the flights and so on. it's easier for you to click the link than for me to try to quote it here. the paperwork will tell you how to figure things. it's simple to do. with the stairmaster, you will be able to conquer things very quickly!
let me know what climb you are going to do. i am trying to keep track because once you have climbed all the mountains, there will be an award given and the same for all the buildings. i have someone working on that right now.

good to hae another "climber" among us!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Heavens Jimmie... you're positively steaming ahead on the flights! Well done! And next the Clifton Supension Bridge.... awwww... the pic makes me nostalgic. My brother's school was in Clifton and I remember the bridge well....

As for me I'm at 125 flights up Slieve Donard. Taking it leisurely...
