To raise money for the John Muir Trust and WaterAid, my challenge was to traverse the UK BIG 3 mountain rounds in one BIG multi-day push - solo!! This included the Bob Graham Round (England), Paddy Buckley Round (Wales) and Ramsay Round (Scotland), and covers 187 miles, 113 mountain summits and 83,000ft of ascent (that's about 3 times Everest)! I tried to complete this challenge in ten days during May 2011. Read on to find out how it went....

Harvey Maps
Thank you to Harvey Maps who have given me a 25% discount in aid of the UK Big 3 Challenge. Consequently, I have purchased the Bob Graham Round map and their new Paddy Buckley Round map! These maps are waterproof and include the suggested route as a yellow line. The mapping is at a 1:40,000 scale but the best thing about them is they only show what you need for the round (and not the rest of the Lake District/Snowdonia). Consequently they are light and fold up really small, making it much easier to whip your map out on the move! For more details or to purchase these maps see: http://www.harveymaps.co.uk/
