The Ultimate Six Peak Challenge totals 5917 metres (19,418ft) of height, with around 50 miles of hill walking, over 1000 miles of driving and two sea crossings. The Challenge is being sponsored in order to raise a Student Volunteer Fund in support of West Cheshire College students wanting to undertake their own major personal challenges, be it the Duke of Edinburgh silver or gold expeditions or an international adventure to support the poorer communities of the world.
