Taking on the National Three Peak Challenge for Chance to Shine!

Gavin Wood is raising money for Chance to Shine

CTS National Three Peaks Challenge 2025 · 30 May 2026

The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon, in 24 hours. It covers 23 miles on foot, 3,064m of ascent, and 462 miles of driving between peaks.

Story

On 30 May I’m attempting the Three Peaks Challenge to climb the three highest peaks in each of Scotland, England and Wales. This involves 23 miles of walking, 10,000 feet of height gain, 450 miles of driving; all in 24 hours!

A stern proposition for a young and fit man – and a seriously immense challenge for a desk-bound old git like me!!

As they say in Rome - Nihil temptatum, nihil adeptum!!

I’m attempting this to support one of my very oldest friends and Best Man, Mark who lost his cricket mad father a little while ago. And we are looking to raise money for the Charity “A Chance to Shine” - which gives children in difficult situations the chance to play, learn, and grow through cricket.

There is also a raffle being held in support of our endeavours which includes tickets for the England v New Zealand test and other goodies
