A HOMELESS charity is looking for people with a sense of adventure and a feel for the great outdoors to take part in its annual Three Peaks Challenge.

For this tough test of stamina, participants will have to climb each of Scotland, England and Wales's highest peaks in one weekend, between Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8.

"This is no walk in the park," said Alan Gosschalk, Shelter's Director of Fundraising.

"But it is great fun, and, when the going gets tough, there will be the added motivation of knowing that every step you take will contribute to Shelter's vital work with homeless and badly-housed people.

Shelter's last Three Peaks Challenge raised more than £30,000, and this year we reckon we can do even better."

Entrants need to form a team of between four and six and raise at least £1,000 in sponsorship between them.
