  4. Please support a great cause Over the last 12 years brown dog have raised over a quarter of a million pounds which has been used to help men, women and children across the UK who have cancer. Every pound we receive goes directly to purchase this equipment – we have no overheads or administration costs that many other charities have. We use used the funds raised very wisely and in the last 3 years alone we have funded the Liver Microwave , the Molemax /Mohs Skin Cancer Equipment, a Breast Cancer Scanner and a dedicated care room in a Children’s Cancer unit which have all helped to improve patient care, diagnostics and are saving lives. Most of the money we raise is achieved through our annual challenge event in June that brings people (old members and new members) together from all over the country. Today we are delighted to announce our 2013 Appeal and in this pack is a summary of the two challenges we have planned on 8th June 2013 to raise money to support this. Our more demanding challenge is the “Snowdon Sunset” challenge Our alternative (not as demanding) challenge is the “Rickety bridge” challenge This pack should will provide you with information on both our challenges and what you need to do to register and join our 2013 fund raising team (later in the new year you will receive a comprehensive pack on the detail of both challenges, this pack should cover the basic information you need right now) We have no rules about how much money you need to raise (we assume you will raise as much as you possibly can) – the only rule we have is that you must be 18 at the time of the challenge
  5. 2013 Challenge Events THE SNOWDON SUNSET CHALLENGE In the evening climb the mighty Snowdon (highest mountain in Wales) watch the sunset at the summit then in the dark follow the rail track back to Llanberis Take a coach to the base of CaderIdris Climb CaderIdris watchingthe sun rise then drop back down to the estuary where you follow the very pretty Mawddach trail across the rickety bridge and into Barmouth walk to the sea front finish on the beach Starts Friday 7th June at 8 pm Finish Saturday 8th June at 1pm (this includes travel time to and from the event) THE RICKETY BRIDGE CHALLENGE A 19 mile walk that starts and finishes in Barmouth Walking out to picturesque Penaempool and back along the Mawddach trail Crossing the rickety bridge and into Barmouth Starts Saturday 8th June at 9am Finish Saturday 8th June at 5pm (includes travel time to and from the event)
  6. Warning - The Snowdon Sunset Challenge is ranked a 4+ which means it is “high difficulty” with “tight time-constraints” It’s not just about completing it – it’s about completing it in a given time-frame Year Main Challenge Rating 2012 High Peak 3 2011 Triassic 5 4+ the difficulty is somewhere between a 4 and 5 2010 Wordsworth 2 4 2009 Canoe Marathon 1 2008 Coast2coast Roller Coaster 3 2007 Mountain Marathon 2 2006 Jurassic 5 2005 Monster 3 2004 Mountain Tri-Athlon 3 2003 London Marathon 5 2002 Orchid European Bike 2+ 2001 Wordsworth 1 4 This is a difficult walk with steep climbs and tight time-constraints If you took part in the Wordsworth or Triassic Challengers and you had to pull out (or you found you were delaying the team at the back) you should do the Rickety Bridge challenge
  7. The 19 mile Rickety Bridge Challenge is ranked a 2 which means it is less difficult than Snowdon but more difficult than the last two alternative challenges Year Main Challenge Rating 2 Which means the difficulty is similar to the Tiggy Winkle 2012 Low Peak 1 2011 Portland 1+ 2010 Tiggy Winkle 2 This years alternative challenge is harder than last years and more on a par with the first alternative challenge we did in the Lakes With this challenge there is an option for people to walk just half of the challenge as long as they make their own way back to Barmouth via regular bus (15 mins)
