Story
We are a team of five engineers and architects competing in the Three Peaks Yacht Race, raising money for causes that matter to us.
The Three Peaks is a unique endurance race. Teams sail from Barmouth in West Wales to Fort William at the foot of the Highlands, with two of the crew racing to the summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis en route, running close to three marathons in 3 or 4 days. The race is continuous day and night, and includes sailing, running, cycling and, if the wind drops, rowing as well.
The team profiles are on the race website:
