Yorkshire 3 Peaks

We are raising money for the mental health charity Mind in memory of our colleague Chris Scotson who died in 2021. Our 12-strong team will hike the 24mile route to the summits of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in under 12 hours on Friday April 22nd. We have set a fundraising target of £3,000 and are appealing for donations.

 

Taking on the Three Peaks Challenge in Chris’ name is really important to us, and we hope to raise as much money as possible to help fund the vital work that Mind does for people in need.

 

We do fundraising events every year, but this year will be especially poignant as we remember Chris. He was a valued member of staff, well-liked among his colleagues, a good friend, father, grandfather and husband who is dearly missed.

 

The Yorkshire Three Peaks route is 24 miles (38.6km), and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent. It takes on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, which form part of the Pennine range and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
