3 Peaks Race |
|
Scafell Leg |
|
| Some people with more energy than sense decide
to have a race to run up the highest peaks of Wales, England and Scotland : Snowdon,
Scafell, and Ben Nevis. They add to their difficulties by sailing between in yachts
therefore demanding a perfectly balanced team of sailing and athletic ability.
|

| The first yacht crossses the sand bar at high tide and launches its dinghy of runners into the bay. |
|

|
The crowd cheers on as they row to shore | ||
| The first two runners set off through Ravenglass village on their way to Scafell. To find out how they did follow the link below for full details of the race. |
