Arrived in Glasgow last night after a 6 hour/370 mile drive. Weather's looking good for the walk :-D
<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Starting on May 4th 2012, I will be completing another challenge to raise some much needed funds for a local charity.</p> <p>As the title suggests, I will be climbing (and descending) the 3 highest peaks in the UK, Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales.</p> <p>The total walking distance is estimated at 22.5 miles, which doesn't sound a lot......until you look at the ascent total which is 9,723ft....</p> <p>I am completing this with my little brother, my brother in law and 2 other willing volunteers from Norwich.</p> <p>We decided that we will complete the challenge over 3 days rather than 24 hours due to health & safety reasons as we do not have a support driver to transport us the 1,114 miles needed by car.</p> <p>I have fundraised for the Pied Piper appeal before and continue to support the amazing work that they do for sick children in Gloucestershire. Please give all you can to help this charity, I have seen first hand what they do for the children and their families in hospital and believe me it makes such a massive impact on peoples lives.</p> <p><span style="color: #999999;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
