Story
Our first water pumps and water well, in Pakistan were built in November 2019 since then we have installed 40 water pumps and 23 water wells. In February 2020, we installed 5 water wells to isolated families in Uganda. To continue this amazing work, we have planned a sponsored walk to raise funds.
We have planned two walks- Firstly, Scafell Pike (Lake District) on Sunday 13th September 2020 (women only). l Secondly, the Yorkshire 3 peaks in the Yorkshire Dales on Sunday 27th September 2020 (mixed walk).
Scafell Pike
Scafell Pike is the highest mountain in England and is a war memorial, cared for by the National Trust. It stands at 978m, is 6 miles in distance, taking approximately 5 hours to complete. It is estimated that Scafell Pike was formed more than 450 million years ago, a part of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group of igneous rock formations. The summit of the Pike is a giant boulder field, shattered rock varying in size from small stones to large boulders all over the top of the mountain and down around the sides.
From the Scafell Pike summit, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views. On a clear day you can see other peaks as far away as Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. The deepest lake in England lies at the foot of Scafell Pike called Lake Wast Water.
Yorkshire 3 Peaks
The three peaks in Yorkshire Dales is the tougher of the two walks as it consists of climbing three individual peaks Pen Y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough- which is a total of 24 miles and a total of 1500m ascent. The walk takes around 12 hours to complete.
Pen-y-Ghent is the smallest peak of the three and stands at 694m, however is the most difficult climb. Whernside is the highest of the Yorkshire 3 peaks at 736m and is also the highest point in all North Yorkshire. Ingleborough is the second highest peak in the Yorkshire dales and stands at 723m and is arguably the most enjoyable climb in the challenge.
Due to the closure of Ingleborough Peak- the route will be slightly different.
