We wanted to challenge ourselves to complete the National Three Peaks challenge. This challenge involves hiking up the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours and is certainly not one for the faint hearted. It is a test of strength and resilience as we battle through the challenge on a lack of sleep and changing weather conditions. 

The challenge starts in Scotland at Ben Nevis, which at, 1,344 metres, or 4,409 ft is the tallest of the three.

From there the expedition will drive south into the Lake District where we climb Scafell Pike (978 m, 3,209 ft).

The final of the three is the Welsh mountain, Snowdon, standing at no less than 1,085 m, 3,560 ft.

We have chose to raise money for the charity MIND which is an incredibly important charity that offers advice and support to those experiencing mental health difficulties. In the UK, 1 in 4 people experience mental health difficulties, highlighting the importance of this charity. The pandemic has seen an increase in referrals to an already overwhelmed service. It would be great if we could raise as much money as possible to support such an incredible service.
