Browning GTS Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well as i posted a few months ago 5 works mates and myself are doing the three peaks on Monday In one way im dreading it but in another really looking forwards to it. We start on Monday at 1600 on Ben Nevis and finish ( hopefully ) Snowdon before the same time on Tuesday. If all goes well we would have raised about 5-6 k for charity. Will let you know how we get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 The very best of luck, it does look as though you are not going to have typical June weather, I don't know whether thats good or bad, but the weather forecast is looking exceedingly wet.

Wookie Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Good luck! Take a tip (did the driving for a team a couple of years back) and get sleep when you can. That's the killer. I know it's common sense, but for christ's sake don't forget to hydrate! I had to treat one of our guys for dehydration and heatstroke after the final Snowdonia leg and it wasn't pretty. Also, try and drive quietly on the way to Scafel. The local hate 3 Peaks people and driving quietly helps a bit. One last tip... watch out for deer on the Ft. Bill to Scafel leg... One team that did the same route as us hit one and it trashed their transit. Good luck though, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 That's really impressive. Just looking at the details of what's involved, i'd heard of it but didn't really understand quite what it was all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck though, have fun! i know all about hydrating properly i used to do a lot of running and was caught out once And yes the deer, we were in Scotland 3 years ago driving near Fort William late at night and had a near miss with a couple of stags. And thanks for the tip on the driving in the lakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
