Hi!
- welcome to our website.
Before you read on, this is just a brief explanation about this site. Over the weekend of the 14th & 15th of July 2000 a group of 10 colleagues from Bristol tackled this event in the name of charity. There was no plan to create a web page, but we had such a good time it seemed a pity not to share our ups and downs with anyone else interested in walking or climbing. Although there are details on routes, the peaks, places, FAQs etc, this is for the large part a more lighthearted look at the challenge and what happened to us over the three days we were involved. However, please be aware that we tackled this walk in the height of summer and we still had chill mist, winds and snow to contend with so if you are going to try the challenge don't be caught unprepared...this article may not be totally serious, but the peaks are.
Thanks for checking us out...enjoy!
