A team of 18 walkers and 4 drivers from Leeds City Council will undertake the National 3 Peaks challenge in June 2009.

The challenge entails walking the highest peak in Scotland, England and Wales consecutively. The aim is to ascend Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowden consecutively within 24 hours. This includes travel time between the peaks. In total the team will ascend 3407 metres, which is around 11000 feet. Some of the walking will take place in the dark and so this really will be a tough challenge!!

The aim is to complete the challenge within a 24 hour time limit and raise more money than last year’s Knaresborough Bed Race with a target of £3000. Please give generously and help us to raise money for this worthy cause.
