1 physio, 4 doctors, 23 miles, 3 peaks and 3064m ascent in just over 24 hours. What could possibly go wrong?!

We are doing this both as a personal challenge and to raise money for Alder Hey Children’s Charity.

This fantastic charity supports big and small projects at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital all year round, aimed at improving experiences for unwell children and their families when visiting the hospital. Without the charity, funding for many of these important projects would not be possible. We see the impact of the charity’s work within the respiratory department and wanted to do something to help raise funds.

The 3 Peaks Challenge takes on the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales and is the most highly regarded trekking challenge within the UK.

The total walking distance is 23 miles (37 km) and total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052 ft)! Our target trekking time is 15 hours or less, the equivalent available trekking time for the traditional 24 hour Three Peaks Challenge. There is a maximum available trekking time of 18 hours.

Our challenge begins in one of Scotland's most scenic areas; Glen Nevis Valley. From here we will climb Ben Nevis, the largest mountain in the UK standing at 1,344m. On descending Ben Nevis we will be driven towards the beautiful Lake District where we begin the second of our 3 Peaks in the evening - Scafell Pike; the highest mountain in England standing at 978m. Our final challenge takes on the highest mountain in Wales; Snowdon (standing at 1,085m) early the following morning.

Thank you so much for your support!
