3 Peaks Challenge · 17 May 2009

Meningitis Now Verified by JustGiving
RCN 803016 (England & Wales), SC037790 (Scotland)
In the 40 years since Meningitis Now was founded, we have funded research, provided support & worked to raise the public's awareness of the disease. Our vision is a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis & everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Story

Myself and a team of 5 other people are doing the 3 Peaks Challenge, this comprises of climbing the largest Peak in England, Wales and Scotland all within 24 hours including the driving!

I am doing this in memory of Gareth Rowlands who was 2 years below me at school. Gareth tragically died of Meningitis one evening back in 2003 whilst in his boarding room at school; he was 16 and had so much more to give. The Meningitis Trust has given his family a lot of support and in turn they have also raised huge amounts of money to help continue the trusts work for other families who have or are going through the loss of a loved one.

Please take a read of below as to what we are actually doing and how the Walk will be planned.

Snowdon (Wales - 1085m)
Scafell Pike (England - 978m)
Ben Nevis (Scotland - 1344m)

Timing

This option allows both Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike to be climbed in daylight, leaving an easy Snowdon path to be climbed at night.
6am
Start Ben Nevis.
11am
Finish Ben Nevis and start drive to Scafell Pike (seven hour drive).
6pm
Arrive and start climbing Scafell Pike
11pm

2am

This is tough walk and with the driving as well it is even tougher, it is 27 miles of walking and 500 miles of driving all within 24 hours!!!!!
