Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge – Training Guide From Kids

I’m taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge and the kids thought I needed some exercise before I take on the biggest mountains in Yorkshire. Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent are collectively known as the Three Peaks and you’re meant to be able to walk up and down them all in 12 hours. Here’s how they’ve helped me out:

Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge: Stillbirth Charity

Here’s the story of the charity: Ben and Gaynor’s daughter Kallipateira was stillborn and they went through a horrible ordeal as they grieved in the hospital, hearing the happy new parents all around them.
