Three Peaks Challenge

[kneeshooter]

Right, I've had just about enough of moping, and have decided to eat some lunch and make an unrealistic commitment, but to make it in public, get some support and as a result hope to embarrass myself into actually going through with it.

Ok - here goes...

Next year, I'd like to do the Three Peaks Challenge, and I'd love some of you fine LJ people to come with me. According to "da Interweb" it's best attempted between July and September (due to bad weather at Ben Nevis) so I guess we're looking at next summer.

And look - an 8 year old girl can do it - surely a group of strapping goths and larpers can do it!! No excuses. If you can't walk - be part of the support crew.

So - commit now!!!!

**EDIT** An amusing tale which could probably be subtitled "Three Academics go up the Mountain" doing the 40km Yorkshire Three Peaks can be found here

None! Well, maybe a bit. I'm tempted to try and do it in the 24 hours. That'll mean sleeping in the car, and having people who've bravely volunteered to do the driving while the walkers snore. It's more the principle that I'm touting at the moment.

It'll take a lot of coming together - but I think it can be done - a real team enterprise and a sense of achievement WHEN we finish it.

And remember I'm not talking about doing it tomorrow, but next year after a chance to get fitness levels up etc.

ashenkat has suggested a trial run on the Yorkshire Peaks which sounds like a good idea.

Yorkshire Peaks

Is that Ingleborough, Wernside and Pen-y-ghent ?

If not, that would also be a good practice run...

(Irelevantly, I'm not sure I'm down with this greyscale-instead-of-indenting to show who's replied to whom. I'm getting confused :)

Yes - looks pretty straightforward.

Agreed. It's the only thing I don't like about this style/scheme.
