Well I have now finished the 3 peaks  it took me 11 hours  whith the helpof 2 friends  JohnYoung and Rob Skellhorn.It was Hard going for me and at one point I did not think I would make it. but wiht the help of rob and john.plus me finding reserves I did not know I had  I managed it

the weather at the time was not bad  but the forcast for the day was rain.As we got towards whenside the rain came and as wgained height and went in to the low clouds the visibility  went down.So out cam the wet gear.I was using Army surplus Gortex pants and they did keep my legs dry.My jacket was from Cranetrail that kept me dry but I did sweat alot ant it just trapped the moisture inside so my top was soaked wiht sweat.so Im going to be looking for a better  base layer and a different Jacket

    Hi, how are you?
    I’ve enjoyed reading some of the articles on your website. I was trying to find a contacts form to see if you’d give me some advice on my new site http://www.downjacket.org.uk, if you have some time I’d love you to let me know what you think, or even link to it if you really like it.

    thank you!

    Lucy
