Thanks, I've had a look at those post and I can see a lot of good points made on both sides of the arguement. The one that I am doing should be very positive however. We are doing it as a group of no more than 15 people, all will do training before hand, and there are many experienced hillwalkers in the group, some of whom have done the 3 peaks before. We are not doing ours en mass with thousands of other, therefore impact should be minimal. The problems of erosion on these peaks are well known, but I think that contributions would be much smaller if we were "just going hillwalking", the "3 peak" title will probably help with our fundraising. Finally we are doing it for a good cause, we are all part of Bucks Search and Rescue ( www.bvr.org.uk ) for which we are raising the money. Everyone will be expected to raise £200 minimum. I guess we willl unfortunatley contribute little to the local economy, except perhaps buying fuel, which is a shame. So thanks for the advice, I hope this shows charity treks in a better light, anymore tips for me?
