On the 8th & 9th Oct 2010 I will be attempting to complete the National Three Peaks Challenge.

This challenge entails walking 26 miles up and down the British Isles highest three mountain peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafel Pike & Mount Snowdon) in addition we'll also have many miles to cover being transported between the three locations, all within 24hrs, yes that's right, 24hrs!! Which means at some point I will be stuck up a mountain in the middle of the night/early hours of the morning with just a head torch for company!

This will be my first attempt at such a feat, and I'm already beginning to question my sanity in attempting this, however as it is to raise money for a very good cause, namely the London Air Ambulance (LAA) it is indeed a worthy challenge.

The LAA is an air ambulance, also known as a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS), which responds to seriously ill or injured casualties in and around London

The service was formed in 1989 by Dr. Alastair Wilson OBE, as a response to a report by the Royal College of Surgeons. The service was the first air ambulance in the UK to carry a doctor trained in emergency medicine in addition to a paramedic at all times.

Since the service has started trauma deaths in London and on the M25 have fallen by more than 50%.
