About The Event

This incredible challenge pits us against the spectacular adventure playground of the Lake District National Park.

We will trek to the summit of one of the Lake District’s most iconic peaks, the Old Man of Coniston, before testing ourselves on the off-road mountain bike trails of Grizedale forest, then kayak across iconic Coniston Water.

In the run up to this event, several of us will be taking on some separate challenges to prepare such as summiting Scafell Pike, completing a variety of cycle routes and rowing relentlessly in the gym. Not only do we intend on completing this challenge in its entirety, but we plan on doing a half-decent job of it!

Thank you for taking the time to read about our fundraiser, a double thank you if you were kind enough to donate!
