Four intrepid cooks from the Royal Gwent Hospital are set to take on a challenge of a lifetime and raise money for the Sparkle Appeal
Three Peaks Challenge
Four intrepid cooks from the Royal Gwent Hospital aim to raise up to £3,000 for the Sparkle Appeal by undertaking the Three Peaks Challenge on 28th June 2010.
However, this is your opportunity to take part in this event, either on this date or later on in the year and YOUR Three Peaks Challenge will take on the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales all within 24hours. The trek covers 40kms and involves 2,984m of ascent and descent.
Your 24hour challenge begins in one of Scotland’s most scenic areas; Glen Nevis Valley. From here you will climb Ben Nevis, the largest mountain in the UK, standing at 1,344m. Your first peak affords spectacular views as you trek into the sunset, then offering an immediate challenge as you trek into night by the light of the moon (and head torches). On descending Ben Nevis you will be driven through the night towards the beautiful Lake District.
Once you arrive in the Lakes you will begin to climb the second of your Three Peaks - Scafell Pike; the highest mountain in England standing at 978m. As you ascend through sunrise you can enjoy fantastic scenery looking down over the hills and lakes of the region.
Your final challenge takes on the highest mountain in Wales; Snowdon, standing at 1,085m. Snowdon, or Yr Wyddfa in Welsh, is a national treasure with its unique bio-diversity of plants and wildlife and is a stunning end to the last of your Three Peaks.
