In Episode #4 Pete & Charlie are joined on the Podcast by Jay Foster who next year will be looking to complete the 5 Peak Challenge made by himself. Starting in the Republic of Ireland Jay will be climbing Carrauntoohil then running to Northern Ireland and climbing Slieve Donard. Then swimming from Northern Ireland across to Scotland which will take approximately 18 hours. Then run from where he lands in Scotland up to Ben Nevis climbing that mountain. With the small challenge remaining to run to Scafell Pike climb it, run on down to Snowdon and finish at the peak of Snowdon. Absolute insanity and will take some real work to complete all in aid of CALM.
They also touched on Jay’s transformation both physically and mentally, and the necessity for positive mindset.
