okay everyone it is time yes I am
officially launching our mediocre
Mountain challenge and this is something
you can all join in if you would like to
a lot of you know what this is about
already but here is a quick explanation
in case you do so when we hit a hundred
thousand subscribers I would have loved
to do what we did at fifty thousand
which is meet up somewhere and go and
conquer an incredibly mediocre mountain
together obviously that's not possible
right now but there is something we can
do instead because even if we can't all
climb the same mountain we can all climb
a mountain so here's how it works first
find the highest piece of land that you
can get to in your local area if you
don't know where it is then you can use
topographic map comm and I'll show you
how to use that at the end of this video
but like I said in a previous video the
more average and mediocre it is the
better if you happen to live right next
to a really nice mountain then by all
means go and climb that but do not leave
your local area you must be able to
climb the summit wherever it is under
your own power so use your own feet your
own bicycle your own wheelchair but no
motorized transport although obviously
if you're someone who needs to use a
mobility scooter or a powered wheelchair
to get around
that's fine anyway once you found it go
and climb it and take a photo or a video
of yourself or yourselves at the top
then put it on the Internet
so you can post it on Twitter or
Instagram tagging either me or hashtag
mediocre mountain challenge or both you
can post it on Facebook directly on my
page at facebook.com slash the Tim
traveler or you can send it by email to
the Tim traveler at gmail.com with the
subject line mediocre mountain challenge
and if you can please say where you are
so somewhere in your post or your email
please include the phrase highest point
in blah blah blah wherever it is you've
got until the end of June to do this and
then I will collect all of them together
and make a video out of it I've got no
idea how many of you will actually do
this so it could be a very short video
it could be a very long one if it is a
long one then I might split it into
categories so we'll have the best
mediocre mountains the best actually
quite nice mountains the most unique
mountains the best celebration at the
top of the mountain the best fancy dress
worn while climbing a mountain we'll see
how it goes but whatever you do
obviously only
post it if you're happy for me to use it
in the video and this goes without
saying but please respect government
guidelines wherever you are so climb on
your own or with the people that you
live with or socially distanced with
your friends if you send me a photo of
ten people all hugging each other at the
top of a hill I will not be able to
include that the reason I'm launching
the challenge now is because we've
reached a point where governments across
the whole of Europe North America
Australia and New Zealand are all saying
you can go out and exercise and that's
basically most of the countries where
people watch my videos but if you are
living in another country where the
virus arrived later and it's not okay to
go out please don't join in this time we
might do a second challenge later in the
year just for you so if you'd like to do
that leave a comment below saying I'm
missing out I wanted to do this and tell
me which country you're in as well that
would be helpful and just so you know
I'm not going to try and make money out
of this I will be donating all ad
revenue from both this video and the one
I'll make later to the UN World Health
Organization international covert 19
response fund now to find the highest
point in your local area if you don't
know where it is the quickest thing is
probably just to google it but if that
doesn't help you can go to this site
called topographic map calm and here's
how it works
search for the place that you live so I
brought up Paris but this should work
for the whole globe
now I'm gonna overlay a red line to show
you the official borders of Paris so I'm
looking for the highest point inside
that area and after a bit of clicking
around and it will take some clicking
around it appears to be right about here
so I guess that's what I'm doing
wherever that is so that's the challenge
and the deadline is the 1st of July so
you've got the rest of June to do this
I'm really looking forward to seeing
your photos and videos I hope you have
fun doing it and I guess I need to go
and climb a hill now so thank you for
watching and I will see you see
you
