Thanks for supporting my fundraising.... 

I DID IT!!            I DID IT!!         I DID IT !!               

On 1st September I was successful in my quest to complete the Three Peaks Challenge within 12 hours - but only just! 

My time was 11hrs 51mins

 As anyone who knows me will tell you, I love being outdoors and I also love a challenge! The last time I did any fundraising was 10 years ago when I walked the Hadrian's Wall trail. This time its a shorter one day challenge attempting the classic 25 mile Yorkshire Three Peaks in 12 hours (or under!). The last time I did this challenge was on the 20th September 2013 (see photo of me on top of Whernside that day) when I was 63 so I'm hoping I'm still up for this 9 years on! The Three Peaks are the three jewels of the Yorkshire Dales and I'll need all that beautiful scenery and your support to get me around Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. For those who know the route, you will be aware that the conventional direction is 'anti-clockwise' ie ascending Pen-y-ghent first, then Whernside and ending with a descent of Ingleborough. I'm tackling the trek in the 'reverse' direction climbing Ingleborough first and ending with Pen-y-ghent.
