A group of us from Shoosmiths Nottingham are getting together and putting our legs and lungs to the test by doing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge. It is a hard one and takes in the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order and in under 12 hours.

These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The total walking distance is 39.2km (24.5 miles) and by the end we will have climbed a total of 2,142 metres. Phew!

We are raising money for Barnardo's so any support you are able to give would be very much appreciated (www.barnardos.org.uk).

Thanks and wish us luck.
