Our 3 Peaks Challenge is an attempt to climb the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales in under 24 hours!

We will battle the British weather and traffic (hmm!) to take us on a journey up to Scotland to climb Ben Nevis (4,413 ft), onto Scafell Pike in England (3,210 ft) and finally start the ascent of Snowden (3,560 ft) at around 2am - in the morning! :o(

Many of us have been touched by cancer or have lost loved ones to this horrible disease. Macmillan provide physical, financial and emotional support for families at a time when it is needed most. They have helped our families and friends and it's highly likely they have helped someone you know too; it is estimated that 1 in 2 people born after 1960 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime.

We would like to give something back to Macmillan to continue their support for other families in their times of need.

Over the weekend of 28th-30th June 2019, our enthusiastic group of 11 individuals who signed up for the challenge will be putting themselves through this:

Friday 28th June

10am - leave Essex in the Team AllClear mini-bus; Jim & Dan co-driving whilst Linda is on the tunes

8pm - arrive in Fort William ready for some fortywinks

Saturday 29th June - starting the Challenge!

6am - a hearty Scottish breakfast before we make our way to Ben Nevis - approx. 5-6 hrs climb

Midday - drive to Scafell Pike - 5hrs; nurse legs on the way

5pm - Begin climb of Scafell Pike - approx. 4-5 hrs climb

9pm - drive to Wales - 4hrs; try not to get cranky with others as the sleep deprivation and tiredness kicks in

Sunday 30th June - the final mountain 

2am - Open eyes and see our final mountain ahead of us.  Snowden should take 4hrs climbing on a good day; there might be some whinging on this one!

6am - complete challenge; is it too early for celebratory drinks?

We would love you to dig deep and sponsor us in aid of Macmillan.  If we smash our target and get over £5,000 then we might even think about doing this in fancy dress..... :o)
