Alternative 3 Peaks

Quoted message said:

Having seen the wide variety of views expressed on this group about the
merits (or otherwise) of the 'traditional' 3 peaks, has anyone thought
of doing it all on foot, and if so, what route would you take and how
long would it take you?

The *Actual* "traditional" 3 Peaks is entirely within the Yorkshire
Dales and is often done entirely on foot, well within a day.

See http://www.3-peaks.co.uk/

I found that with a spot of Googling, which also revealed
www.threepeakschallenge.org as an advertising link at the top of the
page. I think that being actively promoted through paid advertising as
"The ultimate corporate challenge" says it all about the
England/Wales/Scotland nonsense.

Just a thought on those "doing it for charridee!!"

Speaking from Fort William where the worn-out, self important "3-peakers"
roar up the roads from the south thinking they are doing the world, locals &
their nominated charity a favour...

there is a popular local view - don't waste all that time, money,
mountain-rescue call-out, car-crash blood & guts.. Instead, get sponsored to
stay @ home but put the money you would have "wasted" together with your
sponsorship money and give straight to the needy.

That way you save the needy - even more - PLUS save the whale, save the
planet, save us the bother....

... Any comments ?? Should get a few flames...

It is normal to do on foot the entire course in one day.

I am new on here - but in answer to this question the answer is : if you
want to join the 3 peaks of Yorkshire Club (if that is still going) then yes
it is necessary to do it all on foot in 12 hours or under, otherwise you can
walk one or 2 or all 3 of them as you please. The challenge is to complete
them all in under 12 hours on foot.

The Nation 3 peaks challenge as I understand it is to complete the 3
national peaks in under 24 hours using whatever means possible to travel
between the countries.

Did the Yorkshire 3 peaks in 5hrs 51 mins and 46 seconds a while back (not
that I take any notice of time!!!!!).

On a more interesting note, I have a friend who cycled from Lands End to
John O'Groats taking in Snowdon, Sca Fell Pike and the Ben along the way -
see

If you're going to do a challenge then you might as well not do 95% of it in
a car!

See y'all
