    Shopping Trip

    On Thursday 9th June at the main bus stop outside the Arts Centre at 1:45pm to go to Go Outdoors in Canley. If you're in Coventry and want to meet us there that is fine.

    They are the largest outdoor store in the country so have an excellent selection of kit and equipment you need. Please look at out kit list to check you have everything on there and go along to buy anything you need.

    Go Outdoors are very kindly sponsoring the Three Peaks Challenge this year and will also be providing a discount on purchases made on Thursday's shopping trip!

    Sponsors Announced.

    We are pleased to announce sponsors for this years event. Our main sponsor is Go Outdoors, the largest outdoor shop in the country. They are celebrating their Birthday in July. Our second sponsor is the law firm Eversheds who are sponsoring your food on the event. A big thank you to both of them!

    Mail Boxes ETC. in Coventry are subsidising part of the costs of the maps, Two Seasons outdoor/ski shop are providing the prize for the individual who raises the most sponsorship money. Red Bull will be providing us with some Red Bull for those driving on the challenge to help keep them awake and alert!

    Sign Up is now closed.

    Over 220 people are currently signed up for the challenge. We don't have places for any more than 150. Do not attempt to sign up unless you want to be a dedicated driver or supporter not walking in the challenge. If you try to sign up as a walker you will be marked as late and will not be able to participate in the challenge.

    We are still looking for people to join our support team as dedicated minibus drivers. Dedicated drivers take part in the challenge for free, can be supporter for a particular team if they wish, and can still be just as involved as the walkers, even getting people to sponsor them for driving!

    2005 Dates: 16th-18th June

    This years Three Peaks Challenge will take place on 16th-18th June, keeping to tradition and squeezing between Final Fling and Sports Federation Ball. We'll leave for the journey up to Scotland late morning on Thursday 16th June nursing our Final Fling hang overs. After staying overnight in Fort William the challenge proper will start on Friday 17th June in the early hours of the morning and hopefully we'll finish 24 hours at the bottom of Snowdon in Wales. After driving back to campus there should be just enough time to get some sleep before Sports Fed Ball.
