GKR are raising money for the Lighthouse Charity!

On the 1st June 2024 GKR will be taking on The National 3 Peaks Challenge. This involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours. This is an iconic challenge and regarded as one of the UK’s toughest mountain events.

The total walking distance is 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052ft). The total driving distance is 462 miles.

The three mountains are:

Ben Nevis, in Scotland (1345m)

Scafell Pike, in England (978m)

Snowdon, in Wales (1085m)

We begin by taking on the highest mountain in the UK, the mighty Ben Nevis. Aiming to start at 8am Saturday morning, we then drive to the Lake District to take on the highest summit of England, Scafell Pike. With the light fading we make our way to our final mountain of the challenge, the highest summit of Wales, Snowdon. Aiming to finish this epic challenge by 8am Sunday morning.

Every working day in the UK two construction workers take their own life. Lighthouse are the only charity providing emotional and financial support to the construction community through their 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline. They need your support to provide more help to those and their families in crisis.
