Scafell Pike - England's Highest Peak
This was peak 2 of the 3 Peaks Challenge - once again the weather was rubbish so the peak was pretty horrible being very window with low cloud. We parked at Wasdale car park close to the pub and headed up from there. The route up is a well-trodden path…

Ben Nevis, Fort William, Scotland
This was the first peak of our 3 Peaks Challenge. The walk up is long but achievable as long as you have decent level of fitness. Although this is the UK there was still plenty of snow at the top so be prepared (in June). The mountain path is easy…

Pen y Fan, Cribyn, Fan y Big - Brecon Beacons
Our last training walk before the UK 3 Peaks Challenge. The weather was perfect with great views throughout. We park at the Storey Arms usually and head up from there although that route is much harder than this route which is the much busier tourist route.

Lake Garda 42 Marathon
This was by far the most enjoyable marathon distance run I have completed. The weather was perfect as was the scenery. It started in Limone and travelled through Riva Del Garda, Arco, Torbole, and finished in Malcesine which were all beautiful towns.

Zia to top of Mount Dikeos
We went up to watch the sunrise so started in complete darkness. Headtorch is essential. The path is fairly easy to follow although we missed one sign on our left which would have took us off the easy wider path onto the climb. This meant we were wandering around for…
