Story



Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!.

  1. 3 Peaks. 
  2.  3 Gears.
  3.  96 hours. 
  4. Two Santander Bikes.


This July, we are aiming to take on the National Three Peaks ChallengeBut with a twist - We’re using Santander bikes to cycle to each mountain. 

We are doing this to raise money for a fantastic Charity 

The Railway Children is a charity that provides vital support to children who run away or are forced to leave their homes that have become unbearable through poverty, abuse, violence, and neglect. 

The Railway Children reach children as soon as possible and are crucial to getting to children on the streets before an abuser can and before they become entrenched in street life. They race to get to children before the streets get to them.


Details of Challenge.

The challenge requires climbing the three highest peaks in
Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England) and Snowdon (Wales). The peaks cover 4000 meters of ascent (all of which we will do on foot!).
To get to each peak, we will be using the sturdiest bikes we could find. Which has kindly been loaned to us by Santander Bicycles. Weighing 23kg and with 3 gears, these noble steeds are excellent for the job in hand.
We will be cycling close to 500 miles, starting from Ben Nevis making our way to the summit of Scarfell for the finish line at the top of Mt Snowdon. It will be hard and arduous, testing our physical and mental capabilities to our max. But well worth it.
With climbing the peaks and cycling combined, we are aiming to complete the challenge in under 96 hours to avoid late docking fees.

                               So, how can YOU get involved?

There are many ways to get involved! The easiest is donating - Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure. Your donations will not only go to an amazing cause but also keep us fueled to carry on during the challenge. We will have a social media account devoted to our challenge which you can follow our training but also tune in when we carry out the challenge, watching all our ups and downs.

Can’t donate? No worries! We will require all kinds of support. The easiest is to share our page as wide as you can to spread the word.

We are encouraging people from all walks of life to ride with us on our journey. We will be going at a relatively slow pace and welcome anyone who wants to ride with us to enjoy the views of the beautiful landscapes
as well as the views of three delusional individuals. 

Thanks for your support!

Love from Team,
