TEST
The Three Peaks Challenge
& Comentan
My name is Shaun Perkins. I am seventeen years old and I have just done the
famous Three Peaks Challenge. This is a walking challenge which means that
you have to walk up three high mountains. I did it to get money for my local
children's hospital because they had helped my brother when he was very sick.
I did the walk with a special group because it can be quite dangerous especially
the weather is bad. They have a guide who shows you where to walk. When
we started on the first mountain, I was worried that it would be too difficult for
me but actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
We did the walk in the summer so that the weather would be good. The first two mountains were lovely as
the sun was shining. However, we were half way up the third mountain when a storm suddenly came. It was
raining and there was a heavy thunderstorm. I was very afraid. No one was hurt but we did get very wet.
The most important thing about this challenge is the clothes you wear. That means you need good walking
boots, trousers and jacket, and a hat for the sun. It doesn't matter what your clothes look like but they must
be comfortable. Also, you need a small bag.
had a brilliant time on the challenge even though it rained. I didn't really have many people to talk to but
the places where we walked were really beautiful and I loved looking all around me, on the mountains.
