Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We're completing the 10 peak challenge in under 12 hours to raise money for the Manchester pride community collective fund. 

The collective: 

Pride have given over £1.3 million to local LGBT organisations, charities and community groups in Greater Manchester. Many of these organisations do not receive public funding and survive because of external funding avenues, such at The Manchester Pride Community Fund. To see where this funding goes please take a look at the charity video https://vimeo.com/46714264

Our journey:

The Borrowdale valley is one of the most iconic valleys the Lake District has to offer. Surrounding it’s upper reaches are some of the finest, and tallest mountains in England, and the objective of this challenge is to try and climb them all in just 12 hours.

From the sleepy hamlet of Seathwaite, your journey will start alongside a cascading waterfall as you make headway for Great Gable, the 8th highest mountain in England. On the way you will ‘bag’ 2 further peaks. A long descent from Great Gable is followed by a journey up towards Scafell Pike via the Corridor Route, the original guides route on the mountain. Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England is conquered after Lingmell, and the half way mark is also met. The second half of the challenge consists of taking in the rocky subsidiary tops of Scafell Pike, and then Great End, the 6th highest mountain in England. Just two peaks remain before journeying back to the start point.

In total there is 12 miles of walking, but a hearty 2000m of ascent over 10 peaks thrown in for good measure.
