Respectful

Without getting political about access rights to land, erosion of popular routes or charities using the three peaks far too much.
As I have stated before we are highly sensitive to the environmental impact our challenge could make, we are doing everything possible to reduce our event logistics and resources.

There are many responsible walkers and hikers that visit all the peaks we hope to climb every year.

Both Bryn and I agree that the 3-Peaks Challenge is not quite a route we wanted our event to follow. Yes we have to travel to the mountains and peaks [as do we all], but we’ll be camping, enjoying the surroundings, pacing ourselves so we can take as many pictures, videos and enjoy the locations we’ll be in. We intend to make sure local park authorities advice and guidance is sought before our event takes place to be sure we adhere to any changes in mountain access restrictions.

We'll have all the equipment and training to make sure we are responsible, worthy and respectful of all our actions.
The rules are pretty random if you wonder around the internet with regards to individual 3-Peaks events, the routes are usually either 24 hours or three days and participation numbers vary greatly from well organised events to individual un-sponsored groups.
Any rubbish that came with us...comes back with us! We also have our own toilet facility in the vehicle [ok, sounds glamorous it's just a camping porta-loo] if we need it ;-)

In the coming months we'll be training all over the UK, taking part in cross country events, half marathons and marathons - because we truly love the outdoors. We are also considering cancelling the Guinness Record challenge just incase it gives out mixed signals, we'll up date that point soon.

Some people have asked us "what are we doing for the local economy, why should we support you?". Two main reason, we have and will continue visiting, shopping, eating in local resturants and enjoying all the national parks, hopefully for many years to come. Secondly the charities we have picked work tirelessly with people all over the UK, to improve their lives or aid their suffering.
