Three Peaks Yacht Race - Shropshire Lads
Fundraising for Cancer Research UK
Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I would be delighted if you feel able to sponsor me and raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
The Magellan Three Peaks Yacht Race 2005.
The Magellan Barmouth to Fort William Three Peaks Yacht Race combines yachting and mountain running (and a little bit of cycling) into one of the greatest adventure challenges in British sport. The race is now in it's 27th year
Teams comprise 3 sailors and 2 runners, and their aim is to sail from Barmouth on the Welsh coast to Fort William in Scotland, via Caernarfon and Whitehaven, climbing to the summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis on the way. (The athletes cycle from Whitehaven into Ennerdale and run up and down Scafell Pike from there.)
In total this is 389 miles of difficult coastal sailing, 18 miles of cycling and 72 miles of running, with 14,000 feet of ascent to reach the highest points in Wales, England and Scotland.
The race attracts some of the world's best sailors and runners, as well as teams who hope just to complete the course, which is a considerable achievement in its own right.
I have pulled together a Team for the race who are mostly Shropshire Lads (our Team name), and its our first attempt at the 3 Peaks. The sailing crew are all members of Shropshire Sailing Club and we will be sailing a Bavaria 36 called 'Sanderling'. The other sailors will be Chris 'Tiffer' Morris and Chris Thomas. The runners will be Stewart Robertson, originally from Telford and now living in Perthshire, and Roland Prentice also from Perthshire.
Thanks again for your support ! Tim
