The Latest Training Update

We might not have done all these things together but our team has been extremely active. Our latest endeavors include...

Mark Thompson signing up and training for the Kuala Lumpur marathon
Sarah Beale training for an Ironman distance triathlon having already completed a half Ironman
Drew Bradley and Ben Oldham continue their training on the bikes clocking several hundred miles in the past weeks
Oonagh Thompson and Dominic Berry continue their mountain training in the Mourne Mountains
Laura Bradley and John Watson continue their higher impact training with rugby and mixed martial arts respectively. We know who to turn to if things get a bit handy on the mountains!

We're all doing this because we want to achieve our goals. Completing the 3 Peaks Cycle Challenge. Please see this video for more information about our challenge. Thank You

What we're doing and why!

This is what we are doing and why. 

Thank you for looking.

Laura Bradley and Sarah Beale visit the Mournes!

'I'm going to do this in style' said Laura Bradley...

'Are you heck!' replied Bealie.

We decided we wanted to do a short but steep climb... oh hello Slieve Bearnagh! You look steep but short, you'll do just nicely.

We set off from Trassey car park and enjoyed the warm, dry conditions as we'd come out expecting to be very very cold. So that was a bonus!

It wasn't really warm enough for a t-shirt, but apparently Sarah Beale has antifreeze in her veins. The uneven ground meant we each found our own path but were close enough to have a chat as we went.

When we arrived at Hare's Gap something strange and magical happened...

But then we got cold and I got told in no uncertain terms to put the camera away... we had a mountain to climb! But the camera came out again just a short time after...

Slieve Bearnagh is a great walk and it's part of the Mourne Challenge... www.mournechallenge.com ... hope to see you there!

Fairly short write up this, but this walk was great! Weather so much better than we thought it could be in February, great chat, stunning views and a sense of tremendous well-being being back in the mountains!

The 3 Peaks Challenge in August will be tough, extremely tough but when the outdoors is this much fun there's bound to be an upside to all that hard work. More information about the charities to come soon!

I hope this photo of Oonagh Thompson , Laura Bradley and Sarah Beale does justice to the severity of the slope!

The Team...

We are proud to announce the team for The 3 Peaks Cycle Challenge!

Each has a page dedicated to them and a small amount of information about them. We'll be telling you a bit more about each person as we go along and they'll be keeping you up to date with fund raising, training and any other information you might need!
