Sorry for the lack of postings yet again...
Merseyventure staff have been extremely busy over the last few months with challenges, adventures and training courses. Two very popular events were the Open Bus Three Peaks Challenges in July.
Both fully subscribed (well, actually over subscribed), 28 walkers attempted the 3 Peaks Challenge of climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within 24 hours. Not an easy proposition.
We only had two retirements, and everyone else completed the entire challenge. Great feedback, and well done to our mountain guides and drivers who recieved lots of praise.
Youtube video below from the second challenge - well done guys..!
2010 provisional dates to be announced soon... :-) Richie..
3 Peaks Challenge - Scafell Pike Training Walks
During the weekend, a number of teams and individuals took part in a series of ntraining and familiarisation events at Wasdale, including basic navigation, a night ascent of Scafell Pike, and a daytime ascent of Scafell Pike.
Conditions were fabulous for the entire weekend, but don't expect such favourable weather when you return for your Three Peaks Challenge... It's very unusual to have such clear and calm weather in this area, and after you all left we experienced high winds and hail stones. The campervan was rocking all night (due to the stormy conditions, lol) and the temperature plumetted.
ANOTHER SCAFELL PIKE DAY ANNOUNCED
Due to demand, we will be organising another guided Scafell Pike ascent, for individuals or groups wishing to see the beast before their challenge. This will be on Saturday 11th April (Easter Saturday) and it's a great excuse to have a short break in the Lake District.
Just £30 per person to enter, £15 per person if taking part in a 2009 Merseyventure Three Peaks event, or FREE if you are the designated Team Leader on one of our challenges.

New Year, new website, new blog...
Merseyventure was established in 2000 (seems like an awful long time ago now..!) and our original website is still available at www.merseyventure.com but looking a little dated, and a little too involved to keep up-to-date on a regular basis.
I thought it was time to reflect our fresh and dynamic attitude to your adventures and challenges with a fresh and dynamic website and blog..! Despite the current financial problems, we can still offer a full range of Adventure and Challenge activities, including the famous Three Peaks Challenge - but we do not require any fundraising commitment. Could this be the way forward for your corporate organisation or charity?
We wish all readers a very merry Christmas, and a prosperous New Year especially in such uncertain times. We are here to keep evolving in new adventures and challenges, in thick or thin, and hope you will join us investing in the future...
The downturn won't last forever :-)
