What is the 3 Peaks Challenge? Well in short it’s about running (well walking/crawling)! up 3 mountains in 24 hours. Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England) & Snowdon (Wales) these are the highest mountains in each country. The 24 hours includes the reaching the peak of each mountain and all the driving!!!

Training -

On Sat 31st March we had our first team outing to the Pen-Y-Fan in Wales, 10.5 miles and 2,300ft ascent. This proved to be cold, a bit wet & very cloudy but most of all a tad painful... Especially on them near vertical parts. The guide for the walk stated 5-6 hours to complete; we achieved to complete the walk in less than 4 hours. That left us enough time to eat a small mountain of food and of course a pint at the local:-)
