Only 5 days to go till my Three Peaks Challenge! The countdown begins...
The Challenge
A select and somewhat elite group (I suppose we'll see!) of colleagues from Dotted Eyes decided a while back that the Three Peaks Challenge would be a good thing to do. If you're not familiar with the challenge, we're planning to drive to Scotland's highest mountain, Ben Nevis and make our way up it. We'll then descend and drive to England's highest peak, to scale Scafell Pike, we'll then roar into Wales to race up Mount Snowdon.
Did I mention we'll be doing this in the space of a day? We'll Start climbing Ben Nevis at about 5pm on Friday the 10th June and hopefully get to the bottom of Snowdon shortly before 5pm on Saturday the 11th. Thankfully the climbers won't have to do the driving as well, we have our very own Top Gear 'Stig', we'll just be cramping up in the back of a large vehicle on the motorway between peaks!
