The ‘3 peaks challenge’ has been around
for many years. The traditional challenge is to climb the highest
peaks in each of the countries on the mainland of Britain within
24 hours, travelling in between by vehicle.
The highest peaks in England (Scafell
Pike - 978m), Scotland (Ben
Nevis - 1344m) and Wales (Snowdon -
1085m) pose a great challenge for anyone wishing to climb them
in succession.
Two riders, one from Dorset Police and one from
Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, with the help of a back-up vehicle,
are attempting to make their way between the peaks
and conquer each one within the space of one week
- a distance in excess of 500 miles and around 3,500ft of mountain
climbed in seven consecutive days.
We are raising money for ‘PROJECT WOODPECKER’.

Project Woodpecker aims to raise £1.5million
for the redevelopment of Woodlarks, a disabled campsite in Farnham,
Surrey.
Woodlarks caters for all disabled persons and has been in existence
for over 70 years. At the moment the facilities are very dated
and redevelopment is needed to bring it into the 21st century and
allow future campers and carers to enjoy this wonderful site for
a further 70 years and beyond.
No one is paid to run the campsite. It depends
entirely on the generosity of volunteers giving up their time.
All the money raised will go straight to the redevelopment fund.
For further information about PROJECT WOODPECKER,
or if you wish to make a donation, go to www.woodlarks.org.uk.
Anyone who knows me will know that I am built
for comfort, not speed and this will not be an easy challenge.
Please give generously!!
Thankyou for your support.
