Here at Merseyventure, we are always looking for new challenges and adventures. Given that money is very tight at the moment - we have been trying to develop a mid-level challenge, with minimum driving costs, but still involving the whole team, and also useful as training for anyone preparing for a national Three Peaks Challenge.

Well, we've created our very own Scottish Three Peaks Challenge.

This event includes some 26 miles of walking, 3,500 metres of climbing, and only 200 miles of driving. Teams can use their own vehicles, or fly to Glasgow International, then hire a cheap rental car for the two days.

Teams will climb Merrick in the Galloway Forest Park, then Ben Lomond in the Trossachs, and finally climb Ben Nevis in the Highlands. For most teams the target time is around 18 hours.

We are keen to find some willing volunteers to try this challenge out, so we can start organising a formal challenge for 2012. If you fancy a go, and have a group of 4-8 walkers, then please get in touch... ;-)
