Lust auf ein Bergabenteuer? Check out:
Before giving us a challenge you should read this:
To make this trip a bit more interesting, we've decided to let you guys give us challenges which we will attempt to complete over the duration of our trip! Now these challenges can be anything that you think of and can be given to both or just one of us. From physical challenges, such as performing a handstand atop a mountain, or more ridiculous challenges like making Marc wear a skirt for a day of cycling. We will of course provide photographic evidence wherever possible!
Now, we are not going to be performing these challenges for free, we need some inscentive. So once you have thought of a challenge, we would like you to think of how much money you think us completing this challenge is worth. If we are able to complete the challenge, you must then donate that amount of money to the myclimate organisation (see link above). Obviously, the higher the incentive we have, the more chance there will be that we will do the challenge. Don't feel like you have to come up with a challenge all of your own either. If you see a challenge someone else has posted and you think "that there, is a dam good challenge" then feel free to add your own cash incentive to that challenge in order to really push us to do it!
Although we want you guys to really stretch your imaginations when thinking about these challenges, there are a couple of rules involving the types of challenges we will accept :
-
Nothing illegal
-
Nothing sexual
-
Nothing excesively dangerous (a little bit dangerous is of course expected)
-
Nothing too hard (Our main aim is to complete the trip, so anything we feel could slow us down significantly will most likely not be attempted)
-
Nothing that involves us spending more than £5 (If the challenge does require us to spend money, the incentive for the challenge should reflect this)
And that's it! The scope for the kinds of challenges we will attempt is very large so go ahead and think outside the box! We will be keeping a list of all the challenges we accept above and will keep you up to date with which challenges we have completed (with photographic proof if possible) so everyone can have a jolly good laugh at all the ridiculous things our good friends are going to come up with.
