Three Peaks Challenge 2008

Story
On 6 July twelve lads from Derby completed the Three Peaks 24hr Challenge in 23hrs 40minutes - only 20minutes to spare!!
This involved climbing the three highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon).
We started at the base of Ben Nevis 8am Saturday morning. Our times are shown below:
Ben Nevis: 4hrs 45mins
Scafell Pike: 3hrs 35mins
Snowdon: 3hrs 40mins
Total distance walked: 22.8miles
Total distance driven in mini bus cramped up: 1075miles
Official time to complete whole challenge: 23hrs 40mins
The challenge was really tough, and we all suffered for a few days after with leg muscle ache and tiredness. We’ve just about stopped limping.
We’d really like to hit our target of £2000, so please donate anything you can spare. We really appreciate your time to look at this website. Why not check out our blogsite to share our experiences of the weekend: http://threepeakschallenge2008.blogspot.com
