Miindful Icons Round the World - Physical Challenge Continued

The Team got to the original John O’Groats destination in just 11 days and are now preparing to (literally) conquer the world by completing the Icons Round the World Challenge.

Starting at Table Mountain on 1st June, we plan to travel 56,285 miles around the world and end at Skara Brae, Orkney Islands visiting many of the world’s iconic locations along the way such as Giza, The Colosseum, Red Square, The Great Wall of China, The Great Barrier Reef & The Tower of London amongst others with our virtual passports.

A simple how to guide has been put together and the group has already logged some miles using the free World Walking app to start us off. We are people of all mixed abilities who want to keep moving and are ready to welcome more team members for this challenge completely free of charge. We have additionally set up a Whatsapp group to help motivate each other, which is optional to join. You can cycle, row, run, swim, or move however you choose - the aim is simply to get moving more. To find out more about how to join please contact Karen Shenton at karen.shenton@createsolutions.co.uk

What started as a way to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week through the Institute’s event has encouraged us all to take some time to focus on mental well-being, enjoy connecting with nature and become part of a motivational team. Join us as we explore our amazing world and get active today.
