Update
Thank you for all your support and donations, we managed to complete the trek in 13hrs (shh don't tell too many people!) The weather was very poor, wind, rain, and to end it off baking hot sunshine!! I've added some photo's so you can get a feel for the day.
So that's about it ! Don't forget Freshfields open day on 20th July 11am to 4pm

Thanks for visiting our page. Freshfields is a fantastic animal rescue centre and helps to rehabilitate abused and neglected animals The lucky ones find good homes for the rest of their lives. No healthy animal is ever destroyed. Often in a poorly, pathetic and distressed state these animals take a significant amount of time and devotion to rehabilitate: Unfortunately this costs money and this is where you can help. This charity is solely supported by donations, no government help is available.
What I and my good mate Stan are hoping to achieve is to walk the long and demanding course in under 10hrs. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is a walking challenge route with the circuit normally starting and ending at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, visiting the three highest peaks in Yorkshire - Pen-y-ghent (691m), Whernside (728m), and Ingleborough (723m) - in that order. The total distance walked is around 25 miles. Last year it took us 11hrs 15 minutes, so this year we've set ourselves quite a challenge!
Blood, sweat and tears aside it will be worthwhile if we hit our target of £1000. This will provide funds for vets, workers and food and allow the good work to continue.
