What am I doing?

For reasons that are no longer clear (although it seemed like such a good idea back in March!) I've agreed to tackle the Yorkshire 3 Peaks on Saturday 8th May.  This is a 24.5 mile circular walk including over 5,000 feet (1,600m) of climbing, which encompasses the summits of Pen-y-ghent (694 metres - 2,276 feet), Whernside (736 metres - 2,415 feet) and Ingleborough (723 metres  2,372 feet).

Rather worringly it's described as a "demanding" walk, although I'm assured it's also rewarding.

Why am I doing it?

To raise money for Garden Organic, the national charity for organic growing. 

Organic growing helps to protect the environment, reduce food miles and encourages people to engage with issues of health, diet and sustainable lifestyles.  And this is what Garden Organic is all about; working nationwide with individuals, schools and communities to enable, promote and support organic food growing; developing organic horticultural training, working in collaborative partnerships to promote organic growing and lobbying to get organic food growing onto the national and international political agenda.

Garden Organic also engages in groundbreaking (excuse the pun) organic research, manages organic demonstration gardens and is home to the Heritage Seed Library, a unique living collection of heirloom vegetable varieties, many of which are threatened with extinction. Protecting these varieties helps safeguard not just a part of our social history but also our plant genetic diversity for generations to come.

Coincidentally, Garden Organic is the charity that I work for...

Please support me if you can - my legs will need it!


And if you've not tried growing your own fruit or veg before, then check out  The One Pot Pledge, Garden Organic's national campaign to get new growers growing. You can find out about this at:  www.onepotpledge.org
