Proud Of Them And Would Do It Again! By Anis Kotia
The 17th of May was an eventful day for
the UK Ansar Allah when we embarked
on the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge.
Although 5 of us began together, only 1
managed to complete the task (yours
truly). That isn't to say that not
everyone tried - everyone tried but due
to a combination of factors, the odds
were stacked against us. Nevertheless,
the purpose, which was to raise money
for the orphans in Iraq was
accomplished.
The Yorkshire 3 peaks are about an
hour and a half drive north of Liverpool
situated in North Yorkshire. They are a
popular tourist attraction covering
approximately 160 square kilometres
and around 120,000 people who climb
Ingleborough each year.
There are 3 main peaks which attract
the most visitors and they are Pen-yghent 694m (2,277ft), Whernside 736m
(2,415ft) and Ingleborough 723m
(2,372ft)...and this is the order in which
we climbed them.
