Hi All,

This Saturday I'll be doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge (not to be confused with the British one).

Here's some blurb about what it will involve:

"The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is a walking challenge route with the circuit starting and ending at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, visiting the three highest peaks in Yorkshire - Pen-y-ghent (691m), Whernside (728m), and Ingleborough (723m) - in that order. The total distance walked is around 25 miles, with the aim of completing in less than 12 hours. This is a long and demanding walk, with a total climb of 5,200 feet."

My legs are already shaking at the thought of it, but I'll be helped along by 30 other gay guys who'll be walking with me and no doubt encouraging me by singing-a-long to Abba tunes, and thoughts of shopping and bingo at the end. Not to mention my nominated charity - a school in India for Tibetan refugees, the first of it's kind established and supporting 200 children per year to be educated in their Tibetan culture.
