Accommodation and support

DATES DECIDED: 16-28th May 2011

For the Paddy Buckley round I have booked accommodation with the Pen y Gwryd hotel. This is a long established and traditional British mountaineer's hotel in Snowdonia. Located at the foot of Snowdon,  it was once the training headquarters for Hillary and Tenzing in preparation for their successful Mount Everest expedition in 1953. Thank you to the owners, who have pledged to make a donation towards the UK Big 3 Challenge charities, following my stay there in May.

For the Bob Graham round I have booked accommodation with the Wasdale Head Inn. This world-famous inn is surrounded by England's tallest mountains and claims to be the birthplace of british climbing! Thank you to the new owners, who have offered a complimentary room in support of the UK Big 3 Challenge.  For information visit: http://www.wasdale.com/ For bookings:  019467 26229 


Wasdale Head is remotely situated, so for some legs of the Bob Graham Round, I plan to stay in self-catering accommodation in the Keswick area.
