Three Peaks Challenge
« on: May 18, 2010, 10:21:42 pm »
Myself and 4 friends will be taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge in June.

If you've never heard of this, it involves climbing the three biggest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scarfel Pike) and Wales (Snowdon)....all in a day!  A total ascent of 11,178ft! 

Our chosen charity is "Help for Heroes" and we are trying to raise as much as possible.

I would very much appreciate it if you could sponsor us.  You can do this by either clicking on the link below, or alternatively send me a message letting me know how much you would like to pledge.

Thank you for your support.  Every little helps!

Bob

Bob

All the best for this sounds a great challange although the driving sounds more of a challange than the hike.  Do you do much hiking?

Snowdon and Scafell are easy.  Not done Nevis but aiming for Sept to go over.

Good luck, I did it in 1996 with a group of three others, started at 6pm at Ben Nevis and remember climbing Scafell at around 2 o'clock in the morning, sun was just rising when we got to the top, got some stunning photos.

Finished Snowdon at 2pm then stopped overnight in Caernarfon.

Hi Bob,
Yeah I put a donation on the site, but could you stick one of the boulders from Broad Crag in your rucksack for me as I'm building a rockery in my garden.
Good luck, Martin Apex Worthing.

Go on then. I`ll sponsor you. I can just take it off your bill next time we do playzone or the hospital. ;D
Hopefully a few more people will sponsor the old chap as he is putting a lot of training in for it.

Clive ,
As I am giving him £20.00 so related to income that means your down for £200.00.
It's only right.

As I promised on the other forum, I am going to sponsor you, but you havn't done it yet. I have been sponsored for various things, but only collect the sponsorship once the deed has been done.
