3 weeks today!

Yes, it's just three weeks until we do the 3 Peaks Challenge. It's been a pretty short few months leading up to it. We got the team together again on Sunday for a final check that we're all in good shape, here's stats from the walk that day:

Total Distance: 9.59 km (6.0 mi)
Total Time: 2:35:47
Moving Time: 1:44:16
Average Speed: 3.69 km/h (2.3 mi/h)
Average Moving Speed: 5.52 km/h (3.4 mi/h)
Max Speed: 16.98 km/h (10.6 mi/h)
Min Elevation: 197 m (646 ft)
Max Elevation: 293 m (963 ft)
Elevation Gain: 667 m (2188 ft)
Recorded: Sun May 08 11:04:11 GMT+01:00 2011

That approximately half the height and half the time of Ben Nevis, and about 2/3 of the walking distance, if we can keep that up we should be on target. We're now looking to do a night walk in the next week or so to get a feel for what we have in store at Scafell Pike (which we are doing between 11pm and 4am).

Thanks to every one that has donated, we may not have achieved the £5,000 we'd hoped for, but we're not too far off half of that; £2,200 at time of writing which is still amazing :-)
