[Closed] National Three Peaks Challenge, on foot... Charity and advice content...

Tracker1972 · 2013-04-28T19:31:54Z

25th of May I and some mates set off to sunny Scotland to do the Three Peaks Challenge on behalf of the Turner Syndrome Support Society. I am after two things, your experiences if you did it, and your money if the story in the link below makes you think you want to. [urlGiving page for our little jaunt...[/url] (the story on that page isn't quite as dramatically written as it could be, Emie isn't my kid, but I am glad my kids aren't affected the same way). 8 of us going, in a 16 seater minibus, two drivers to keep each other company and prep a bit of warm food for us as we get back to the bus to save as much time as possible as the bus won't be quick. I am probably the least fit, but 11 miles and 2,300 feet of climbing wasn't too bad last weekend, Got some decent boots and socks I have had a while so don't need breaking in, got some decent clothing if needed and even got a 4 man storm shelter. So what is going to hurt first, knees or thighs, and what are the best blister avoidance techniques, as that is my main fear...

I'll throw another suggestion in, http://www.mountain-adventures.co.uk/lake-district-3000-footers.html

Option A

Seems pertinent.

Just spotted a mountain holiday company that operates from Wasdale uploaded an album onto Facebook named "3 peaks practice"

At least the valleys getting some business out of it. A bit surprising though, maybe just making the best of a bad deal.
