The Challenge

The Challenge is to walk up 24 peaks, each one over 2,400 feet, in 24 hours total walking time. Some of the route follows well-defined ridges, but the height climbed and descended throughout the challenge is significant. The route includes many of the more famous peaks such as Red Pike, Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Great Gable. The challenge will be undertaken over a single weekend, with accommodation being arranged for a brief sleep during Friday and Saturday night. We will start very early on Day One negotiating 10 of the peaks, before they finally descend late in the evening. Mileage covered in Day One is around 17.5. Day Two involves another long day of mountain ridges, with the mileage covered around 14 miles. The total height climbed is over 13,000 feet.

There are 15 of us taking part in this challenge - all with our own reason and stories to share - but the most important thing is that we raise as much money as possible to support those living with cancer. Thank you for your support
