This summer's challenge?!

As always, i am thinking of the 'next walk' even before we finish the current one, which is 'The Inn Way of The Yorkshire Dales'.

This next opportunity came about through Twitter..the online social network, which i use frequently!

It is 'The 3 Peaks of Yorkshire'. A 24 mile walk involving climbing Penyghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.

I have walked it twice before, once as a teenager and the 2nd time as a 30 something!
15 years later i can't believe i'm even considering it again!

My walking friends are undecided whether to walk it as part of an organised charity day or just walk it on our own for our own choice of charity. I'm in favour of the organised 'route' as it provides medical back up!! Could be handy with my injuries!!

The charity walk is organised by The British Red Cross and takes place on the 14th July 2012.

By the way, i didn't mention that 1 of my friends who wants to walk it, 'under her own steam', has held the record for the fastest time for RUNNING The 3 Peaks!!
