+Papakas Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Just to advise anyone planning to participate in event GC1FA91 have just 3 or 4 training weekends to get themselves ready! Good luck! Quote
+Papakas Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 With the first TAHA challenge event stepping off at 21:30 Fri 31 Oct I'm already looking at the next challenge that being the Yorkshire Three Peaks. In conjunction with this challenge event I wonder if someone would be prepared to organise a camping event in the area providing a seperate social event. A local cacher would be a good candidate and for a venue there appears to be potential at Knight Stainforth Hall, Little Stainforth. However if any of our national camping event organisers are interested....! Please PM me so we can begin working on setting a date for this. Additionally I'm planning on going for the National Three Peaks next year. What's the interest and would anyone like to suggest some dates? Quote
+rutson Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Depending on what time of year and how many folk would be attending there is camping behind the station Inn next to the Ribblehead viaduct, just to the left of the classic three peaks route where it passes the food van Maybe seeya Friday...

+NickandAliandEliza Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Most convenient site for Yorks 3 Peaks is the one in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. It's right at the start of the walk, 100 yards from the cafe (where you log in and out for the walk) and also only about a 10 minute walk from the station...... Quote
fraggle69 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 bumping this, it's this coming weekend!! Quote
+rutson Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Well... Five interpid cachers set off on Friday night after the flash mob. We had rain, we had wind, we had some slip-sliding on the overnight ice, we watched the sun rise, we had blisters, exhaustion and joints that screamed at us, we watched the sun set but... All five of us made it :-) Quote
Deceangi Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Well... Five interpid cachers set off on Friday night after the flash mob.

And don't forget to flash the badge around at events with pride you've earned it [Any one completing the challenge walk is entitled to wear the coffin shaped badge of the Lyke Wake Walk] Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Caught up with them near the end, a hard enough walk at the best of times but in the conditions (snow, ice and very bracing winds) an amazing achievement. Well done! Fraggle was still walking like he had just got off his bike today Quote
fraggle69 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks Deci. You know I never thought I'd be happy to see Mongers on the otherside of the fence. Top effort for coming out to meet us enroute mate, it was encouraging to have your support. Yup, my joints were whaked and very glad you didn't have your video cam to record my attempts at making my way back from the cache 200m from the event in Robin Hoods Bay. I learned a great deal and will remember the trip fondly, I just know I'll do it again someday. Thanks to all that supported the walkers and to the walkers for outstanding team spirit that got us all to the end more or less in one piece. Thanks Quote
