Are you up for a Three Peaks Challenge?

This year one of the main challenges I have set myself is to conquer the peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. Not something I ever thought I would do to be honest but over recent years I have thought more and more about testing myself, and I’m hoping for a clear day to see some of those fabulous views.

I am planning to organise my own trip with an accredited company – I don’t want to be one of those stories you read about. You know the ones (people set off in flip flops with a slushie to climb a mountain and end up being rescued by helicopters).

So, I now have a challenge for you should you choose to accept it…

Join me on this challenge.

I will put together a training plan (there are lots out there in internet land). Most seem to start about 16 weeks before the challenge. I am hoping to organise something for the end of summer beginning of autumn to avoid very hot weather but before it gets too cold and wet. That should give us enough time.

You could choose to do the challenge for you because it’s something you want to do. You could choose to do the challenge for you and to join me in raising money for The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham & the Black Country or you could choose to take part to raise money for a charity of your choice. Lots of options!

The cost is about £250 per person. That includes a guide, transport etc.

If you choose to raise money for The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham & the Black Country you would get this money reimbursed if you raise £395 or more.

There’s lots of information out there on planning and equipment such as this site. I'll put a list together and post it soon.

If you’re a member of The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham& the Black Country you will get a 10% discount at Cotswold Outdoors so that’s where I’ll be going to get the things I need.

Are you up for the challenge?

Let me know.
