National Three Peaks

A month or two ago my sister Tam offered me a place on her work's charity National Three Peaks outing in June. For those who don't know this involves climbing and descending the highest mountain in Scotland (Ben Nevis), the highest mountain in England (Scafell Pike) and the highest mountain in Wales (Snowdon).

All inside 24 hours - including the driving.... start at the base of Ben Nevis, climb, descend, drive, climb Scafell Pike, descend, drive, climb Snowdon and descend.

There's meant to be 17 of us doing this, all from Tam's work except me. They are a veterinary practice and they are raising money to pay for treatment on stray animals that are brought in.

So I've been training. I've been doing more walking; I've got a long walk or a hilly walk planned every weekend until then and I've also started jogging three times a week.

Wish me (and us) luck!
