3Peaks Challenge

‘Bob, you couldn’t climb in the daylight’.  To which Bob replies, ‘You couldn’t climb Snowdon in the dark, let alone in the daylight’... and so began the challenge of a lifetime!  Luckily for Bob and his pal, they’ve got enough caring colleagues who are crazy/ dedicated and/ or supportive enough to help them through this gruelling test of endurance.

Kicking off at 7am on Saturday 19^th June and hitting it hard all the way through until 7am the next morning...the enthusiastic bunch will be climbing the highest mountains in , and within 24 hours! Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and will take an estimated 14 hours of actual walking time with the highest point of 1344m being reached.

Being the nice people that they are, the team have decided not to place bets on whether Bob or his mate can in fact climb these massive beasts, but are instead raising money for a brilliant local charity called Ride High which is based in .  

The charity aims to help disadvantaged children (e.g. young carers, in care, abuse suffers) and those having difficulties in their daily lives, by giving them the opportunity to learn to ride and look after horses and ponies.

There is evidence that for children who are angry, hurt, upset, lonely or underprivileged, contact with horses can have highly beneficial effects. Children who exhibit antisocial behaviour in their daily lives often find that riding provides an absorbing new challenge which can take the place of disruptive activities and for others it builds confidence and self esteem.

So please support us in our endeavour so that we can help these children to lead a brighter future.
