50 miles of walking, 20000 feet of climbing, 1000 miles of driving, two ferry crossings and a lot of soggy sandwiches: to bag the tallest peaks in the Isle of Man, Wales, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland in 3 days to raise money for Wateraid.

Not all hard work
All this six peaks lark seems a bit easy! An ice cream on the Liverpool docks whilst waiting for the rest of the team to arrive followed by tea, flapjack and beer on the ferry (not forgetting the slightly rushed pizza express in Liverpool before the ferry) and then a couple of beers getting to know the team in the evening at our relatively plush hotel! Looking forward to kicking of the walking at 1pm tomorrow after our final breeding!
Leaving Liverpool
We've left the drivers to a trip to Blackpool, and headed off to the Isle of Man. A beautiful evening as we pulled out - here are the views!
Arrival in Liverpool
We've made it to the port in Liverpool! Photo of the Liver Building as proof.
Currently waiting for the Hampton Hikers so we can go for dinner before catching the ferry to the Isle of Man.

And we're off!!!
Good news - we're finally off! Now heading for Liverpool to get the ferry to the Isle of Man.
A minor hiccup as we couldn't get out because of the bin lorry, but we got a tearful farewell as we left.
