My dad, Alan, will be turning 70 this year and this is a challenge that has always been on the bucket list. He's fit as a fiddle and we're trying to persuade him to eat more than one cheese sandwich for the whole trip. A legend and a constant source of inspiration. Matt is my brother-in-law and is a proper fair-dinkum Aussie. Always up for a challenge, always gets stuck in and although a relatively recent addition, is already a stalwart of the family. James is my friend and a total petrolhead. I flatter myself that introduced him to endurance running and now he kicks everyone's arse. Plus he does a fine line in full bodied red wines. What else do you need to know - a class act. I (Nick) am someone who likes to keep fit and likes an occasional challenge. Mountains are a source of inspiration and awe for me. This has been on the list for a long time and now's the time to get this done, come hell or high water. I can't wait.
The National Three Peaks Challenge takes in the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales, often in 24 hours.
