Andy A and I are going to attempt The Yorkshire Three Peaks, which is 24 miles (38.6km), and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent on Sunday. While talking about it with some of our friends, we thought it would be great to be able to raise some money for a good cause at the same time. Both of us love the water, and so many other people do as well. With both Andy and I canoeing all over, surfing along the coasts of the UK and enjoying swimming in the sea plus playing on the beaches with our families. In fact, I met Andy in 2003 on a canoeing river trip in York. Yet while there is so much beauty and enjoyment that can, and should be shared. There is also the danger that comes from nature as well. We know this is probably short notice, though better late than never, and hope you will give generously to the essential service that RNLI provide.
