In September, teams from GSSArchitecture will tackle the Lakes 24 Challenge to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The Lakes 24 is one of the most demanding mountain walking challenges in the country that requires individuals to scale 24 of the highest peaks within a target hiking time of 24 hours.

The total route mileage for the 24 peaks is around 30 miles, but the elevation and height gain make this far from easy, and many say that the challenge is tougher to complete than the national three peaks challenge (Ben Nevis, Sca Fell Pike and Snowdon).

This will be a serious challenge for everyone who attempts it and we are truly grateful for any support that you can offer to get behind the excellent work of Macmillan Cancer Support.

For the purposes of our challenge, we will be taking on Circular Routes over two days on the 9th and 10th of September. We’ll walk 29.5 miles with 11,660ft of ascent (47.5km and ~3,554m of ascent) in just 24 hours of walking time.

Please donate what you can to this worthy charity that is so close to many of our hearts. Thank you.
