We had the pleasure of a visit from Gerald from the Munro Madnezz Bhoys Challenge this morning.
He told us all about the 282 Munros in Scotland (there used to be 283 but one shrunk (!) and is no longer counted as a Munro!). They are named after Sir Hugh Munro who discovered and categorised them all – though he didn’t climb them all.
Gerald has climbed many of these and told us of his love for doing this. He has raised lots of money for Macmillan Cancer charity through his climbs.
He showed us all some of the equipment that he uses and explained how to keep safe when climbing. It is something which he adores doing.
Laura and Alison from Active Schools were with Gerald. They have set primary school pupils the challenge of doing sports activities to equal the time it would take to climb a Munro. Who is keen to take up this challenge?
Recording sheets are available in school. How many Munros do you think you could ‘climb’? Come on, give it a go!
