The Cash for Kids Yorkshire Three Peaks
Challenge
Sunday 11 April 2010
The Challenge will be led by experienced instructors who
will provide full safety support for the event, two water stops and
insurance. Supported by Foresters and Facilitated by Adventure
Challenge Events.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Walk is a very
demanding but rewarding walk, which takes in the summits of
Pen-y-ghent (694 metres) Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough
(723 metres) all in one circular route of approximately 25 miles –
all in aid of Cash for Kids, Radio Aire, Leeds.
Leaving early from the café at Horton-in-Ribblesdale,
walkers have to complete the challenge in less than 12 hours, at
which point you can become a member of the "Three Peaks of
Yorkshire Club".
Since the charity was registered and launched in May 2007 they’ve
been busy raising money and helping thousands of local children.
With your help we want to help to improve the lives of even more
sick, disabled and underprivileged children in West
Yorkshire.
Transport - Challengers are responsible for their own travel to and
from the starting point (which is at the car park café in
Horton-in-Ribblesdale.) Foresters may be able to help with travel
costs for Foresters ACTIV8 members taking part - please contact
Emily.
