Story
On the 23/24 June we are going to embark on probably the most difficult challenge of the year! We have decided that we will walk the 24 peaks in the Lake District above 2,400 ft in 24 hours. The aim is to raise as much money for the Manchester Childrens Hospital as possible.
This is a tough challenge that will test our endurance and strength. Set in the stunningly beautiful Lake District we will climb 24 peaks, all over 2,400ft, encountering difficult terrain, lengthy descents and steep ascents along the way. Our mental and physical strength will be tested to the max!
