Dreydon, Kate and Toni came to discuss with room8 about the 80 km walk in the Hillary Trail. Dreydon was part of the group that went on the 80 km walk. They were fundraising for some of the schools around Glen Innes. Their manager had set up everything in order for them to be safe on their walk and had made it a challenge for them to have complete it in less than 24 hours.
The equipment they had used was a locator beacon for if they were badly injured and was in need for a helicopter. A camelback which could hold up to 2 litres of water and a few snacks. 2 flashlights for if one is in need of change of batteries. Obviously proper shoes for walking 80 km and walking through bumpy roads and muddy grounds.
Dreydon said that if you’re going to set a goal it has to be S.M.A.R.T. Which stands for:
S-pecific
M-easurable
A-chievable
R-elevant
T-ime bound
After Dreydon’s talk I learned how to plan properly and about setting my goals using: S.M.A.R.T
