Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page - 5 Geeks 3 Peaks!
The challenge is a well known one - the National 3 Peaks Challenge. If you're not entirely sure what this is all about then let me explain!
The National 3 Peaks Challenge is to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours...
That's Ben Nevis in Scotland (1344m), Scafell Pike in England (978m) and Snowdon in Wales (1085m) - and we'll be doing it in that order on 21st June 2013.
So that's the task before us. But who is us? The Team:
Andy Chase
Andy Coates
Jon North
Gav Starks
Justin Brown
Andy, Andy and Jon recently conquered Helvellyn in the Lake District and when Andy Chase revealed an ambition to take on the mightly 3 Peaks, the other 2 nutters said 'Err, yeah go on then. What is it?' Our recent recruit is Gav, rugby mad and apparently once ran up on of the Lake District Fells (to be verified). More recently we're acquired a 5th geek! All welcome - Justin Brown! Special thanks go to Justin (and Renault) for sorting out a mini-bus for the mission!
So, here we are, hard in training for what is sure to be a tough, tough 24 hours of gruelling, man-destroying climbing. Can we do it? Damn skippy we can.
We've joined together to raise money for the Children with Cancer charity. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal!
