In summary, though, it's this:
Living in Edinburgh and having not taken enough advantage of the nice tiny mountains we have right in (near) the middle of the city, I thought it might be nice to spend a month hiking (walking) up Arthur’s Seat every day. Also, it’s not that difficult, but it is enough to cause a sweat and get the breath rate up (because I’m unfit) and theoretically it’s something I could do before work (I will pack deodorant in my bag). December’s almost over and there are holidays coming up, so if I’m going to have a month-long challenge, I might as well start on January 1st and pretend it’s like a New Years resolution I only have to keep to for a month. I’m going to make it 31 hikes in 31 days, as there may be times where, for whatever reason, I can’t do it in the daylight for, so I’ll just have to make up for it by climbing twice on another day (I’ll try to keep to 7 a week, so there’s no massive backlog, but maybe no more than two a day just to make sure I have to have some horrible rainy times…).
Anyway...
A donation of 32.25p per climb makes a nice round (almost) £10 donation. Just think what I'd get if you decided to donate 64.5p per climb!
I've set a target of £1000. I may not get near it, but it's nice to have a slightly unobtainable goal...
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
