Yorkshire Three Peaks!

We Did It!

 

What an amazing day! On Tuesday, we completed the Y3P, Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, and what a day it was! The weather was fantastic, the comradeship was incredible, and we truly pushed ourselves to our limits.

We really dug deep as we conquered Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, tackling the 24-mile (38.6 km) route that includes a staggering 5,200 ft (1,600 metres) of vertical ascent and a whopping 70,419 steps! It was a tough outing, but the sense of achievement we felt at the end was absolutely worth every bit of effort.

Our route took us over the three magnificent peaks: Pen-y-Ghent at 694 metres, Whernside at 736 metres, and Ingleborough at 723 metres. Each ascent brought its own challenges, but we powered through, motivated by the knowledge that our efforts would benefit our young people in a significant way.

This incredible event serves as a vital fundraising initiative for the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, and we couldn't be more excited about the impact it will have. We're raising money to support our pupils, helping them gain invaluable experiences that will shape their futures. All funds raised will contribute towards sending our Year 8 students on their annual life-changing residential trip to Disneyland Paris. This trip isn't just about joy and excitement; it's about personal growth and unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
