Story
During a 24 hour period across the 28th & 29th of July, we will be attempting the 3 peaks challenge. This consists of summiting the three highest peaks in each of England, Scotland and Wales.
We’ll be doing this to raise money for my cousins daughter, Lola. At 5 years old, Lola sustained a severe brain injury which has left her with Dystonia - a neurological movement disorder which causes painful muscle contractions throughout her body. Unfortunately, this is not yet curable.
Any money raised will go towards Lola’s ongoing rehabilitation as well as helping towards necessary adjustments to their family home to cater for Lola’s needs.
We’re both going to be training a lot in the build up to this as neither of us are anywhere near as fit as we should be. On top of that, neither of us have ever summited any of these peaks, let alone all three within 24 hours. However, we’re hoping our recent adventures in 4,000m + territory might just help us out!
Below is our approximate 24 hour itinerary for the challenge:
🏃♂️ Sunday 28th July 5pm - BEGIN 🏃♂️
5pm - 10pm ~ Climb & Summit Ben Nevis
10pm - 4am ~ Drive to Scafell Pike
4am - 8am ~ Climb & Summit Scafell Pike
8am - 1pm ~ Drive to Snowdon
1pm - 5pm ~ Climb & Summit Snowdon
🍻 Monday 29th July 5pm ~ FINISH 🍻
We will of course post pictures and updates as we go. Any donation, is greatly appreciated.
