Introduction

A colleague of mine, Alex Burnside, in BT suggested that within our work group we should tackle the Three Peaks Challenge which had appeared as a news item on the company Web Site. The only objection to this was that is was a very large affair incorporating a number of busses and on consideration this was felt to be a big drawback. However not to be deterred Alex managed to convince some our colleagues to take part in the same event but not at the same weekend and the additional challenge would be that it would be between smokers and non-smokers.

Sad to say of the original ten volunteers seven have dropped out leaving only myself , Alex and a very doubtful person, sorry, starter called Geoff Clark. To his credit, Geoff who has already completed this challenge in his younger days is waiting for surgery on his knee. If carried out in the next two weeks it should see him recover in time to take part, if not he is willing to join us in the pub at the end for a drink.

At this point I suggested to my son, David if he wanted to join us and this sparked the reason behind this Web Site. David had been planning an event to raise funds for Cancer Research. The explanation is given elsewhere in this site. Raising this suggestion among his friends and colleagues at work there is now a number of people willing to participate all with the intent to raise funds for the nominated charity.
