10 REASONS TO SIGN UP NOW!

1 IT’S A GREAT EXCUSE...

...(as if you needed one!) to get out in the hills more. And the more uphill, the better!

2 YOU CAN DO IT ANYWHERE

When you can’t get to the hills (and we all have those days) you can log ascent in your local hills. Any uphill counts – think of it as bringing a bit of the mountains to your doorstep.

3 IT’S FREE

...like all the best things in life.

4 IT WILL TAKE YOU PLACES YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO

Clocking up ascent isn’t the only reason we go to the hills, and it’s not the only reason to sign up for this challenge. It’s the experiences you have along the way that make this worth doing – that’s what makes the great outdoors so much better than a gym. Make sure you get some ‘ambition’ peaks on to your planner, and tick off something truly great this year.

5 IT’S GREAT FOR YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS

Walking uphill is superb cardiovascular exercise, builds stamina and tones muscle. And as far as mental health goes, research has shown that exposure to nature reduces stress levels, improves attention spans in children and reduces the likelihood of depression. They call it ecotherapy – we call it a weekend in the hills!
