Windows goes walking

[Windoze]

Sooo one of my challenges next year involves a bit of walking...(boo I hear you l say). The 3 peak challenge is on the agenda but imma hitting all 3 in 24hrs with a group of fellow nutters. April is the planned date and will probably die doing it 😂😂😂 but that's half the fun hey? 🤶🎅🌲

[TailChaser Marathon]

April? I assumed it would be mid summer with the shorter nights - you really are a nutter! Are you doing it for charity? That’s going to be some 24 hours, all the very best of luck!

[Couchpotato2 Marathon]

Wow that’s brave! I often thought of doing it but the night walking is not that appealing (among other issues). Let us know how the training goes!

[Tbae Metric Marathon]

Amazing I wish you well.

I know the Ben Nevis Track very well although always usually came down it.Generally ascent was a different route.

Although the mountain track/ tourist path from the Youth hostel Glen Nevis🤔is fairly straight forward.

Not like the beginning of the pyg track,huge boulders to begin ,first 500m, but after that it is one of the most beautiful walks in the world returning on the miners track.WOW.Its a beautiful route on and off Snowdon and back to your starting point.Pen y Pass🤔⭐️👏👏

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Pen y Pass is just one of the most amazing sights on the planet Tbae 👍

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

I agree.The miners track and pyg track are just so beautiful and special.💥👏👏

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Wow sounds like you know the routes well Tbae this will be my first venture into the climbs 😎😎

Hi Windoze,

I know Ben Nevis from 55 years ago.Kinlochleven is my home.

I know Snowdon a little as I live on Anglesey over 30 years.Should know it much better.You will enjoy the pyg track and the miners track to Pen y Pass even although it’s the final ascent.

Do not know Scafell Pike although love the Lake District.

My Aussie son in law has done this as a younger man, must ask him how he found it.Not sure if he did the 4 peak 🤔 event also.

Will let you know his findings.As you said,they had a designated driver.👍

[Macmac Marathon]

This is as much of a driving challenge as walking. Personally, I preferred the prospect of less travel and one continuous hike of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks that I completed earlier this year. Gorgeous scenery and all in daylight. Anyway, hiking is great wherever you go. So good luck with your challenge - hope you enjoy it 👍

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to Macmac]

Yeah we have a dedicated driver who's not doing the hiking and a mini bus 😂

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Wowsers Windoze, epic challenge! Nutter? Absolutely! But I have every confidence that you’ll succeed and have a blast doing so. 👊 😀👏

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

I'm also wondering why April, but anyway that looks fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

I have no idea why it's in April 😊

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Windoze]

Perhaps less busy giving the best safety cover for the entrants and organisers.Very busy later.I think the ultra events, eg the dragons back are April or early in the season.🤔

Will ask my son in law.👍

[ju-ju- Marathon]

I am sooooo jealous, I have always wanted to do that!!!

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to ju-ju-]

You can take my place 😂

[Run46 Half Marathon]

No boo-ing from me, I love walking, it's that and a fitbit that 1st got me into running...mountain climbing not so much though 😅

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?! 😳, I bet you'll love it 👍

[Katnap Marathon]

There's probably less people who have done 3x peaks in 24 hrs than have done a marathon, so extra kudos there if you make it.
