Ermm... ok guys, not sure how to start this, lol

me and a few colleagues from work are going to be doing the 3 peaks challenge weekend 1st July.

This consists of walking up the 3 highest peaks in the U.K, Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Mount Snowdon. The plan is for some of us to actually run up Mount Snowdon :shock: :?
The worse thing is, we are doing it in 24hours!! Its going to be a great experience and in some way im excited about doing this, just need to get back in shape after my recent injury.

We are doing it to raise money for the Yorkshire air ambulance. This is for 2 reasons, the 1st, because its a local charity to work and the 2nd and the most important, because it actually saved a good friend of mine and his little boy after a serious car crash. the air ambulance rely totally on charity donations and this is the best way we can say thankyou.

ive been spending this evening finalising a few things and now its all official and stuff.

Now... i dont like doing this because in a way, its a bit like begging but was wondering if you guys would sponsor me? we have a website www.justgiving.com/knowhowthreepeaks and you can donate on here.

I dont care how much you give, could even be 1p and i know times are hard for all of us, me included and you dont even have to leave your name but if you do, leave twingo133.net on the end so i can see you and will give u a mention at the end.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.

Dave
 
one other thing, all the donations so far are for he only girl thats doing it so i want to beat her hahaha
 
I read in the metro the other week about three people who done the three peaks challenge but messed it up, climbed the wrong mountains and stuff! Good luck mate :) when I get paid I'll dig deep for you ;-)
 
People from this area who do it start with Ben Nevis, then Scarfell then Snowdon last (I live about 30mins away from Snowdon). The time doesnt start until you take your first step on the first mountain so do the furthest first!
 
Thats the plan, start at 6am on Nevis and finish by 6am the following day on mount snowdon. I'm proper excited for it now!! Getting back in shape has been good as well. Girls, if you donate £10 you get a £25 make over from urban decay at debenhams as well :) leanne, pm me your address and I will send you your voucher.

Your not finished untill you get your feet wet at Caernarfon.

We did an evening start at Fort William, then an overnight drive down to Scafell which makes the most of the daylight
 
According to the rules you can either do it by touching the sea in Scotland and then touching the sea in wales or its from the car park of Nevis and the car park of snowdon
