Nick Johnston - Self employed businessman

"I have always wanted to do the Three Peaks Challenge, ever since I started doing small day hikes in North Wales near Snowdon. The combination of good views, tranquility, relaxation and increased fitness appeal greatly to me.

I've been a bit of a fitness fanatic for several years, ever since joining the local gym. Although, I've always been active, having sailed dingys for a number of years.

Since discovering the existance of the Three Peaks Challenge, I've also made a list of similar Challenges, and some more extreme, that I would like to complete - these include:

• Welsh 3000ft's in 12 hours
• Three Peaks Challenge Yacht Race
• Sailing around the world

I'd also like to regularly complete the Three Peaks Challenge, aiming to beat my previous times and raise more for charity. Personally, I think my fitness levels are good enough, but I'll let you know afterwards."
