Princess Completes Peaks Challenge

Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has completed the Three Peaks Challenge for a cancer charity 🏔️. This achievement is significant as it raises awareness and support for cancer research 🎗. What other charitable causes do you think royals should focus on?

Fred.Olsen Renewables, with the help of Natural Power, SeaRoc and ZX Lidars, has raised a total of £16,078 for the Marine Conservation Society, Scottish Mountain Rescue and Mountain Rescue England and Wales by completing the Three Peaks Challenge. A team made up of 27 employees from all four companies took park in the challenge scaling Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England, and Snowdon in Wales.

Euan Fenelon and Finley Becks-Phelps Finley Becks-Phelps, development manager at Fred.Olsen Renewables, said: “Originally, it was just an idea for Fred.Olsen Renewables to do the challenge as a team building exercise, but then we opened it up to the other companies and got a really positive response. We picked three charities we felt really strongly about. He continued: “The Marine Conservation Society does fantastic work protecting our seas, and without the Scottish Mountain Rescue and Mountain Rescue England and Wales people like us couldn’t do challenges like this. “We set a target of £10,000, and we smashed it! We held cake sales in Stirling; at The Greenhouse, which is Natural Power’s head office in Dumfries and Galloway; and in Newcastle, to help raise money, and everyone paid their own way to make sure every penny raised went to the charities. “On the day, everyone braved the climb despite the weather conditions, and we all managed to complete the challenge. People came from London, Oslo, and other parts of the UK and Norway to take part. It was a real team effort.” Euan Fenelon, director of operations and asset management at Natural Power, said: “It was wonderful to see everyone from the different organisations come together to do the Three Peaks Challenge, especially those that travelled from overseas to take part! It was a fantastic opportunity for us to get involved in a wonderful team activity, support our clients and raise money for three fantastic charities.” Graham Howe, sales manager at SeaRoc, added: “SeaRoc was proud to join the Fred.Olsen Renewables team for a memorable lifetime experience that benefited three great charities.” After the event Kev Mitchell, vice-chair at Scottish Mountain Rescue commented: “We are hugely grateful to Fred.Olsen Renewables for completing their Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for Scottish Mountain Rescue. We depend on donations to maintain our world class rescue service and support our 24 member-teams to locate, assist and save the lives of people who are lost, injured, missing or otherwise in need of help any hour, any day and any weather.

Hiking might not sound like the most attractive activity in the world, but it’s one of the most accessible, enjoyable and scalable activities that you can engage in. If you’re thinking about going hiking, have you considered the Yorkshire Three Peaks? North Yorkshire 3 Peaks is dedicated to providing excellent guided tours of the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the surrounding moorland. There’s also the North Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge. All 3 peaks climbed in 12 hours, around 24 miles of undulating paths and beautiful scenery.

Hiking is one of those activities that has a slightly negative reputation to some, much like cycling. Too boring and pedestrian to be a ‘real sport’, too relaxed for exercise fanatics, and too difficult for people who don’t do it regularly, especially when they’re expected to keep up with a more experienced group. You also have to deal with whatever weather is happening, whether that’s blistering heat, torrential rain, or freezing cold. Depending on the season, you may have to also deal with mud, flies and ice. Why would anybody do this?

The answer is simple. On a good hike, you’re getting healthier, smarter and fitter with every step. Here’s just some of the benefits that come with hiking:

Physical Benefits

It goes without saying that you should exercise if you have the physical capacity to do it, and hiking is a good intermediary between strolls down the park and intensive workouts. Depending on the incline you’re walking on, a fit person can burn well over 500 calories an hour, without putting the strain on your joints that comes with more intensive exercise like weight lifting.

It isn’t just weight loss too. By hiking, you’re slowly lowering blood cholesterol and blood pressure, which can reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, heart diseases and Strokes. Regular exercise, including hiking, also increases your body’s sensitivity to essential hormones like insulin and improves glucose tolerance, which is important for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics.

Mental Benefits

Without going all hippy on everybody, hiking is therapy for a lot of people who deal with mental conditions like depression and anxiety. Being out in the wilderness, far away from the problems of society and urban life, helps you disconnect from them, and allows you to experience the joys of life. Hiking present mental wellness benefits for everybody: the problem-solving processes that come with hiking keep your brain active, and the isolation from the hustle and bustle of modern living allows you to de-stress.

North Yorkshire Three Peaks is dedicated to giving both novice and experienced hikers a challenge through the North Yorkshire 3 Peaks Route: Taking you over 3 of the highest peaks in Yorkshire – Pen-Y-Ghent, Ingleborough & Whernside – in the space of a single day. 24 miles in 12 hours.

Much of the UK’s countryside nowadays is well catered for: public footpaths, official hiking trails with pubs and villages located around them, and much of the UK’s publicly-owned land is easily accessible. However, the phenomenon of walking and hiking around the countryside has only been around for a couple hundred years, as Romantic poets of the 1700s and 1800s saw the natural beauty of areas such as the Lake District, Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands as the perfect inspiration for their flowery poetry.

While the Romantic poets were derided in their day, the mass movement from rural areas into cities, and the poor quality of life in Victorian cities at the time (London lacked a proper sewage system until the late 1800s, and cholera outbreaks were common) gave their passionate exhortation of the country life appeal to many, particularly the city elite and growing middle class who resented the urban squalor that was developing in their cities.

However, much of the countryside in the UK was private property. While trespassing on the land was illegal, many rambling clubs emerged in the North of England, protesting for their ‘right to roam’ in the British countryside. While bills supporting these rights were continually presented to Parliament between 1884 to 1932, they were repeatedly shot down by MPs who themselves owned large sections of the UK’s land.

However, in 1932, the Rambler’s Rights Movement organised a mass trespass on Kinder Scout in Derbyshire. While the event was certainly a publicity boost for these rambling groups, and now commemorated with a plaque at the site, the legislation that followed (Mountain Access Bill) was seen as restrictive and an attempt to meet landowners and ramblers halfway, with neither liking the end result.

The North Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge is a hiking challenge based in the Yorkshire Dales national park for both beginners and experienced hikers going over Yorkshires three highest peaks; Pen-Y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside.

The hike is a single day journey where participants will complete the 24-mile route in 12 hours beginning at 7am. Open guided hikes are available to anybody who wants to take part in set weekends from April to October. Private guided hikes for large groups such as corporate groups and large charity groups are available at a higher price. Participation in the three peaks challenge allows you to experience some of the best sights in the Yorkshire Dales such as The Force Gill Waterfall, The Hull Pot and the caves of Ingleborough. Everybody has their own way of doing things and their own level of fitness, so everyone can go at their own pace and finish the challenge as quickly or slowly as they want to, but everybody needs to stay below the 12-hour mark.

The route is broken up into three parts which are represented by the three individual peaks. Part one begins at Horton-in-Ribblesdale and leads up the Pen-Y-Ghent summit at 694m high then back down to Ribblehead which is the thirst resting point between the peaks. Part 2 begins at the Ribblehead resting point then leads up the Whernside summit at 736m high which is the tallest of the three peaks which means it is the hardest incline. The route then leads back down to Chapel-Le-Dale which is where the second resting point is. The third and final part leads from Chapel-Le-Dale up the Ingleborough summit at 723m high which is the final summit. This is not the tallest, but it is the most difficult peak because it is the furthest one into the hike. The journey then leads back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale where the hike first begun which marks the end.
