Their story, in their words…..
For our project, we decided to stay in Yorkshire to complete the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge. The hike was 40 kilometres in total, over the course of 3 mountains. The aim is to complete the walk in under 12 hours and we achieved this with an hour and 20 minutes to spare! In addition to this challenge, we decided to spend the walk without using our phones. This made it a really enjoyable trip as we could fully experience the landscape around us. The toughest part was finding our way — with the low clouds it was very difficult to see ahead of us on the top of the mountains and the high speed winds made the scramble up the rocks difficult for us. However, since we planned and carried out this project independently, it has given us insight into the importance of preparation, overcoming difficulties, and has helped the two of us develop physically and personally. We both loved the challenge and are so thankful that the Mark Evison foundation made this possible for us.
