The Event takes a tremendous team effort to complete. The key to successes is in the preparation and planning. It must also be done with responsibility and respect to allow others to continue enjoying both visiting and inhabiting the mountains in the future. There is some negative impact, such as erosion, littering and disturbance to local inhabitants, caused by an increased use of the mountains. Hence there is a 'Code of Practice for Outdoor Fundraising Events', developed by the Institute of Fundraising written in consultation with a range of groups including the National Park Authorities and the National Trust, who owns Scafell Pike and part of Snowdon. In particular the guide governs the times at which we are allowed to climb the mountains, hence this has a significant impact on our timetable. Please visit and familiarise yourself: http://www.institute-of-fundraising.org. There are positive influences on the local economy, but the real challenge is in achieving the best balance between tourism and conservation.
To participate all you need to do is fill in and send a registration form and a deposit of £99 back to Event Aid at the address on the form to reserve your place. The deposit will be refunded once you reach your charity fundraising target.
