TAKE ON A MINI-CHALLENGE, win Golden Badges!
Perform a silly, seasonal or stretching task, post the result on Facebook or Instagram and our favourite 20 mini-challenge completers (four in each category) will win a truly money-can’t-buy prize! Tag your entry with the correct hashtag and be careful with your spelling!
1 SEND A CW POSTCARD FROM A POSTBOX YOU NEVER USED
Think of someone you haven’t written to in ages and tell them why you thought of them. Or make a stranger’s day via www.postcrossing.com. Post a pic of you posting it & tell us who to.
2 DO A NIGHT WALK
The world’s an entirely different place after dark – even familiar routes are rendered strange and fascinating. Do an after-sundown walk of at least 2.74 miles and tell us how it went, along with the best photo you can muster!
3 HAVE A BREW WITH A VIEW
Fill a flask with steaming coffee, fragrant hot chocolate, ice-melting mulled wine or a warming concoction of your own creation and find somewhere nice on a walk to drink it. Post a pic of you + brew + view.
4 FIND SNOW OR ICE
Look through a window of ice carefully lifted from a puddle, scrape the world’s smallest snowman together or if all else fails make a snowball from freezer frost and carry it somewhere nice to throw. Capture the moment!
5 SPREAD THE WORD
Help spread the good news about walking – download and print a poster or flier from www.walk1000miles. co.uk/posters and show us where you put it. Or tell your local paper you’re doing 1000 miles. It’s a great story!
