We had the pleasure of a visit from Gerald from the Munro Madnezz Bhoys Challenge this morning.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Recording sheets are available in school. How many Munros do you think you could ‘climb’? Come on, give it a go!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
