WE MADE IT. THREE PEAKS DONE. 🏔️🏔️🏔️

Ben Nevis ✅

Scafell Pike ✅

Yr Wyddfa ✅

We’ve just come back down from the final mountain.

Yr Wyddfa gave us plenty of wind at the top, but otherwise an amazing final climb – including a beautiful sunrise and a few mountain goats along the way. Not a bad way to finish after a very long day and night.

A massive thank you to everyone who has followed us, sent messages, joined the Road to Three Peaks, shared the campaign and donated. Seeing all of that coming through along the way genuinely helped.

ONE DOWN! 🏔️✅

Ben Nevis done in 4 hours!

Pretty bad weather on the way up – rain, wind and even a bit of hail waiting for us at the top. Not exactly the famous Scottish views we were promised 😂

But somehow the sun came out for the descent and we had such a beautiful view!

Back down safely, feeling good, and now onto the next one.

1/3 done. Scafell Pike next! 🏔️🏔️

--------------------☆☆☆☆☆☆--------------------

Well… tomorrow we finally start.

When we created this page back in July, the Three Peaks still felt quite a long way away.

A lot has happened since.

Over the last month, an amazing group of people has joined us on our “Road to Three Peaks”, walking, running and climbing wherever they are.

We challenged ourselves collectively to do 100km in a week. We did 215km.

Then 10,000m of climbing. We did 10,510m.

Then 100 hours of activity. We did 102.

And this week they’re still going, completing our slightly ridiculous Three Peaks Bingo while we pack the bags and head north.

It has honestly made the preparation for this challenge so much better than I imagined when we started.

Tomorrow, it’s our turn.

We’ll leave in the early hours for Ben Nevis, then Scafell Pike, then Yr Wyddfa, hopefully completing all three in around 24 hours.

We’ll be sharing GPS trackers, photos and updates as we go.

But the reason behind all of this hasn’t changed: we’re trying to raise £8,000 for APT’s work in Sierra Leone.

So thank you to everyone who has already donated, joined us, walked a kilometre, climbed a hill, shared a post or encouraged us along the way.

And if you’ve arrived on this page for the first time this weekend — welcome. We could definitely use your help.

£20 can restore 5m² of mangrove in Sierra Leone.

£50 can buy the parts needed to repair a village water pump.

£200 can help fund two weeks of training for 10 women learning to become pump mechanics.

---------------------☆☆☆☆☆☆----------------------

This September, we are taking on the UK Three Peaks Challenge to raise £8,000 for Action on Poverty's work in Sierra Leone.

On 19 and 20 September, our team will attempt to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa in one continuous challenge. That means around 38 km on foot, more than 3,000 metres of climbing, hundreds of miles on the road between the mountains and very little sleep.

And we are not doing it alone.

In the weeks leading up to the challenge, friends, families, colleagues and supporters will be joining us through Road to Three Peaks, taking on collective walking, running, hiking and outdoor challenges from wherever they are.

So why are we doing it?

Because many of the things we rely on every day are easy to take for granted until they stop working. Having clean water directly available, a healthy environment and at least two meals a day are things most of us don't think about much.

For many of the communities we work with in Sierra Leone, it can be much less certain. A broken water pump can mean hours spent finding water elsewhere. The loss of mangroves can affect fishing, farming, flooding and the incomes families depend on.

The good thing is that there are practical solutions, and local communities are already leading them.

Through POWER, women are training as pump technicians and building businesses while helping keep water flowing in their communities. Through Coastal Roots, people are restoring mangroves and finding new, more resilient ways to earn a living.

That's what we're fundraising for. Supporting people with the skills, opportunities and resources to make these solutions work and last.

Our target is £8,000, and every donation genuinely counts.

£5, £10, £20 or £100 all take us another step towards that goal. And if you cannot donate, sharing this page with someone else can make a difference too.

There will be tired legs, bad weather, difficult moments and probably a few questions about why we thought climbing three mountains in 24 hours was a good idea, or whether 100Miles over a week was maybe too ambitious.

But knowing there is a whole group of people behind us will make those moments a little easier.

Please support the challenge, help us reach our goal, and be part of what we are trying to achieve.

Thank you for getting behind us.
