Over the weekend of the 31st May 2003 and 1st June 2003, teams of people will be attempting to walk to the summit of the 3 highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon), all within 24 hours.

The 3 peaks challenge is one of the ultimate goals for many people in the UK. It is physically and mentally challenging, requiring strength, endurance and a will to succeed. Equally, the challenge is an event that requires teamwork; something everyone associated with Inline Hockey will be familiar with. The only way to succeed in the challenge is for a strong team to exist. A team consists of:

Walkers - The people who will actually climb the peaks!
Walker Support Crew - Drivers for the vehicle for the team.
Team Support Crew - The sponsors for the team.
Challenge Support Crew - The marshals and organisers.

Why are we doing this?

GBHI have entered 7 teams into the tournaments to be held in Edmonton, Canada (see details on the ‘Background’ page); 10’s, 12’s, 14’s, 16’s, 18’s and Women. These teams will consist of around 150 people who will be representing the UK in 2 major competitions. To send this contingent to Canada will cost in total round £400,000, a major financial hurdle for parents, players, clubs, GBHI and friends.
To help defray some of these costs, we are looking for sponsors; Hundreds and hundreds of sponsors!

People and companies who are prepared to stump up a few pounds to support their own team when they achieve the challenge (or just if they try!).
And, a few hardy souls to make up the teams to ‘take the challenge’!
