Me and my partner are climbing Snowdon at the end of this month!  BNy setting this challenge, now when i go to the gym to work out, I have a goal.  If it goes well, we will climb other mountains and start a new hobby in hiking etc.   Bought my walking boots already and had a work out in the gym this morning. Off to a good start. Anyone else set a new challenge for themselves?
