Six weeks - are you ready for it?....no?...best get out climbing some hills then!

Here we have Pen-y-ghent, it raises 694m (2277ft) and is one of the 3 peaks we will be ascending in our charity sponsored challenge!

After the horrendous weather we have had this week, it's to be hoping that we have a major improvement before the big day!....I doubt I'll have much spare energy if I need to be fighting my way out of a bog!!

Pen-y-ghent is actually the lowest of the three peaks, but it is by no means less spectacular, with it's towering cliffs, escarpments, caves and potholes.

The Ribblehead viaduct on the Carlisle-Settle railway is dwarfed by Whernside, the elevation is 736m (2415ft) and on a clear day from the summit you can see The Lake District and Morecambe Bay....with the aid of a pair of binoculars you can see Blackpool Tower some 40 miles away.
For those  of you coming to watch, you get a great view of us climbing Whernside from the Station Inn Pub ( our start and finish point )...so sit down, chill awhile, enjoy a pint while the rest of us gasp our way to the summit!

Ingleborough is the second highest of the three peaks at an elevation of 723m ( 2372ft ). It is connected to it's nearest neighbour Whernside by a mountain pass at Ribblehead at 296m.

All 3 peaks are spectacular in their own way and it is going to be a tough but very rewarding day on June 2nd as we do our bit for cancer charities. I thank each and every one of you who have registered to join me on this scenic walk!

I hope you will be staying over for a post peak pint with me....camping is free and it would be great to celebrate our wonderful day together in the Station Inn at Ribblehead Viaduct!

Here's hoping your training is going well

Until next time
