Hiking can take place anywhere and everywhere depending on what the group/individual wants to achieve from the activity. Popular places for scenic routes and challenging terrain are in the Lake District, Peak District, the Brecon Beacons in Wales and other places around Britain. In the peak district you can go on personal guided walks or group walks. Abseiling is the descent of a cliff or anything that is too steep and tall to descend without protection like a harness and rope, as well as all the other equipment. This activity is used when people are climbing, gorge walking, caving or cannoning; the UK Armed Forces also use this when troops are deployed, but is often referred to as “fast roping.
There are world-class hiking trails throughout the city as well for the more adventurous types. The most popular areas to hike are located in Chautauqua Park. Many of the trails start at the Western edge of the city, while others are a short drive away. The trails vary in difficulty: some are quite easy while there are some that are technically challenging. Many athletes, recreational runners, and cyclists make use of these difficult courses at this breath-taking altitude to train more efficiently than those who would train at sea level or lower elevations.
They climb mountains that you would HAVE never dreamed of but one expedition they do can cause one of the mountaineers their life. They go through adventurous journeys, over the icy glaciers to the deep dark crevasses. They both show a lot of Grit, guts and determination. One example from “touching the void” is at the beginning of the film, When the camera is taking shots of the mountains ahead. wHEN THE CAMERAMAN IS VIEWING this it gives you the impression that there is a dangerous journey ahead for them and there is a lot of danger involved.
The variety of trails looping across the rugged landscape, draped upon the Highlands, is a major part of the appeal of Harriman-Bear Mountain State Parks. Covering nearly 52,000 acres, this network of practically infinite trail combinations is unmatched in the area surrounding metropolitan New York. The hiker may choose to climb through the crevices of the Lemon Squeezer, savor the views of the Hudson from high on Dunderberg Mountain, or ramble on old woods roads past sleepy swamps and abandoned mining
Unit 342 – Support positive risk taking for individuals Outcome 1 – understand the importance of risk taking in everyday life 1.1 Explain ways in which risks is an integral part of everyday life Without taking risks we would be unable to learn something new, taking a risk is part of life and although we do not want to take risks, we still take them regardless. Taking risks can build you confidence and even teach you something about yourself you may or may not be aware of yet, for example: Learning to ride a bike or rock climbing, both of these sports both contain a high amount of risks but taking those risks can really pay off and be very enjoyable after a bit of practice. By waking up and getting out of bed in the morning you have already started to take a risk and continuing through you day to day activities which you find 'normal' still contain a high amount of risks but we do them because it is worth doing. We cannot 'bubble wrap' everything we do to make everything safe but if a task or activity is dangerous we can only try and prevent harm to ourselves. 1.2 Explain why individuals may have been discouraged from taking risks The biggest reason for someone being discouraged from taking risks is an individual with a learning disability, It was only not so long ago that individuals with a learning disability most often than not wasn't given the choice to make their own decisions on tasks or activities they would do throughout the day but rather another close friend or family to that person making the decisions for them, It was not thought that the person would be able to participate in the task or activity, so rather than trying they would simply do something else which was seemed more appropriate by their 'guardian/next of kin.
Critically compare the value of ageing theories to individuals in differing health and social care settings The activity theory is about being active, therefore continuing to participate in physical, social, cultural and civic affairs. This theory states that even though older people retire they can still remain active, it slows down the process of ageing therefore an individual still has the physical ability as they age. The social disengagement theory is being withdrawn of less involved with people such as families and friends or withdrawn from activities due to ill health or depressed social opportunities. This theory states that as individuals age they become less involved in social activities and this is a natural part of ageing. Both

They would still traverse the land using a type of locomotion called knuckle –walking. They would still participate in grooming, which appears to be a comforting social encounter they enjoy. They would still form social groups with the males as leaders. I do believe, however, that they are missing out on the activities that they were meant to participate it, such as the hunting and gathering of food, which provides not only exercise, but a sense of accomplishment as well. They are not interacting with different members of their species, which demands competition for food and mates, relationship building, and different types of social interaction, which I believe to be important in living a “true” chimp or gorilla life.
I think it could be very rewarding helping people get back on the right path. I love to work with people and it is not a regular desk job so it would solve my problem of becoming bored easily. I would work with a multitude of people and each day would be different. On the other hand, it is not a 9-5 job and it would keep me away from my family due to the heavy demands and caseloads. I could also be in danger working with convicted felons.
Instead of walking to school, ride to school as riding is a moderate intensity activity. Or even walking briskly is great as this also is a moderate intensity and will help to reach the physical activity recommendations. There are 4 steps to become a healthier adult.
