To start our training for the Three Peaks challenge next summer, we had intended to climb Snowdon on Sunday. However, the weather forecast was so bad in terms of fog that we made a decision it would be too dangerous to climb with such poor visibility (you couldn't see the path from the cameras up on the mountain) but so that we could all try out walking boots and stretch our legs a little, instead we went over to Cannock Chase and had a walk there. Obviously it wasn't as strenuous as climbing a mountain but the eight-mile course led us up and down plenty of hills so still had a fairly good walk.
As the winter sets in, it's very unlikely we will be able to do any big climbs until early March but we'll all be trying to do some local walks and keep our general fitness levels up so that we're prepared for next year when the real walking will start! At the moment, we're still planning to aim for the first weekend in August for the challenge itself and we'll also be offering the option of just doing Snowdon for those who want to take part but don't want to do all three mountains.
