Hi,

A runner has pulled out of a friend's team in the forthcoming three peaks yacht race which starts on 20th June.

Teams comprise 3 sailors and 2 runners, and their aim is to sail from Barmouth on the Welsh coast to Fort William in Scotland, via Caernarfon and Whitehaven, climbing to the summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis on the way. (The athletes cycle from Whitehaven into Ennerdale and run up and down Scafell Pike from there.)

In total this is 389 miles of difficult coastal sailing, 18 miles of cycling and 72 miles of running, with 14,000 feet of ascent to reach the highest points in Wales, England and Scotland.

Further details are:

If you are interested in taking part please call:
Paul on 07793 201691.

thanks,
Stewart Whitlie
