| We did it! What a great feeling and sense of achievement it is. 24.2 miles and a total of 5,000 feet climbed and we managed it in 10 hours and 22 minutes and didn't get lost once. Both Nicky and I feel like we have been in a boxing match with a psychopathic dwarf as our legs feel as if they have been truly punished. You can hear us as we carefully climb each step of the stairs in our house as though we were tip-toeing across a hot plate and letting out little gasps of pain. So as you can imagine the next few days will mainly consist of stretching. The day itselfimg src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/obo3eAjik-A" height="1" width="1"/ |

| Regular readers will be aware that my wife Nicky and I have set ourselves a challenge to help raise money for the WSPA, a great charity that not only does its best to rescue suffering and mistreated animals but also educates people in less developed countries on how to treat and care for their farm animals so they get the most from them and farm more successfully. Our challenge is to walk the 3 Peaks in Yorkshire within 12 hours: a 24 mile marathon that includes 5000 feet of climbing.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/QtAEulHegec" height="1" width="1"/ |

Beeble’s Three Peaks Challenge on 19. Mar 2009 in world society for the protection of animals, yorkshire three peaks, yorkshire three peaks challenge, outdoors, fitness levels, walking, The Challenge, charity, Beebleblog news. |
| It has been a while since our last challenge, so we thought it was about time that we set ourselves a new one. This time however it is not going to be any boring, gym-based challenge. No, this time we are tackling the great outdoors and doing it all for charity.
What is the challenge?
We thought long and hard about what we could do, trawling through the internet to come up with something that would be tough but also different from our normal exercise routines and therefore a challenge that will require us to change our training to prepare for it. Big drum roll please...... We have chosen the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. |
