In June we will be taking part in the Three Peaks Yacht Race, one of the oldest and most remarkable multi-sport endurance races in the world. 

The race involves sailing from Barmouth to Fort William, a distance of around 350nm, and climbing the three highest peaks in Great Britain on the way, the equivalent of three marathons in three or four days..

It draws competitors from all sporting backgrounds & with sailing experience from off-shore cruising to round-the-world races. Sailing & sports clubs, military & company teams all enter & compete on equal terms.

The leg I am running is Scafell Pike which involves a 33km cycle to the end of Ennerdale Lake, an 18km run over Black Sail Pass then to the peak of Scafell and back then a 33km cycle back to the boat, involving a total elevation gain of over 2.5km.
