Fundraising for Shine

I’m raising funds for Shine https://www.shinecharity.org.uk/ by taking on the challenge of hiking 24 miles in one day (19th July 2025), taking in the 3 peaks in Yorkshire. It looked like a really good idea when I was sitting on a comfy chair at home, but the more I think about it, the steeper those 3 climbs appear.

Last year I was lucky enough to climb Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon in old money!) along with a great team including several family members. If you fancy joining me in this challenge, that would be great, but if not, any words of support are gratefully received.

Think I’d better plan a few training hikes - anyone know any long, steep climbs with a pub at the top?

Thanks for reading & I’ll try to add more info about the challenge, and my training and preparation.

Not sure if our route will go past this one - looks fascinating!
