VRG - YORKSHIRE THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE

Venatu Recruitment Group are tackling the 24 mile long, Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge to help try and raise money for the local Charity, Firefly Cancer Awareness & Support. We began our training on Sunday 3rd February where some of our VRG members took on Mam Tor. Mam Tor is a 517m hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire. The snow & freezing cold temperatures definitely made the walk more exciting.. & slippery! We have planned to join for more intense training every couple of weeks which will hopefully prepare us for the event and get us all raring and ready to go for the big day on Saturday 6th July 2019! Keep an eye on our social media pages for photos and updates on how our training journey is going!

We would highly appreciate any donations, small or large. Every penny counts. Thank you in advance from all at VRG.. & wish us all luck!

About The Three Peaks Challenge: The Yorkshire Three Peaks route is 24 miles (38.6km), and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on 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.
