Eek! A week to go!

With a mixture of excitement and nerves, the day we shall take on the Three Peaks Challenge draws ever closer.  Envisaging the peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon I think what have I let myself in for?! Climbing several of Snowdon's tracks and Scafell Pike has given me some insight but completing  the mountains in succession (within 24 hours!!) will be a whole different story.

Early Saturday morning (21st June) we travel up to Ben Nevis where our challenge begins - that evening with the aim of completing Scafell and Snowdon by the same time on Sunday. The team is equipped, has trained hard and are determined to complete the challenge within the 24 hours - we can only hope the weather and the traffic is on our side!

We were rewarded eventually as we descended below the cloud.

This challenge is self funded so every penny will go to Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre and Cattery.
The team are not asking you to climb mountains (we do the tough bit!) just a donation towards our efforts to raise much needed funds for the centre.

I hope the animals will be sympathetic of our aching muscles when we return to work on the Monday!
