Hi guys,
From June 8th - June
11th 2010, I will be attempting to scale the 5 tallest peaks of each of
the 5 countries in the British Isles - all within 48 hours!
Starting
in England and ending up in the Republic of Ireland, I will be trying
to climb the following 5 peaks:
Scotland - Ben Nevis (1344m, 4406ft.)
Wales - Snowdon
(1085m, 3560ft.)
Republic Of Ireland - Carrauntoohil
(1038m, 3406ft.)
England - Scafell Pike
(978m, 3209 ft.)
Northern Ireland - Slieve
Donard (849m, 2786ft.)
All of this is in aid of Teesdale
and Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue Team (TWSMRT). This is a team
that provides a search and rescue service in County Durham 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. TWSMRT has been saving lives for 40
years. More info at http://www.twsmrt.org.uk/.
I am doing this
challenge with many other students attending Durham University through
the Durham University Charity Kommittee (DUCK, and yes - with a K!).
DUCK is a student-run charity committee that last year raised £500,000
for all charities that operate on a local scale, right up to reknowned
international charities.
So please, donate money (contributions
of ALL sizes are welcome) to my page to help me reach my target of £150.
Thanks for reading my page.
