The Challenge Manual
Now acknowledged by one of the biggest challenge organisers as their official guide, the British Fire Service Three Peaks Challenge are so impressed by the Challenge Manual that they include a copy of it with every entry pack. This comprehensive book walks the reader through their challenge attempt from beginning to hopefully successful end.
Written in straightforward but informative language The Challenge Manual covers a range of topics from team to individual organisation, to the 'minimum impact' approach that should be taken to the environment. There is useful information on recognising and avoiding the many pitfalls that could overcome anyone in a challenge environment. Information on risk assessment, safety and survival procedures are coupled with a comprehensive appendix of additional information and resources.
Primarily aimed at long-distance walkers, the Manual will also be of use to organisers, team leaders and support teams. Charity walkers and first-timers will also find an encompassing range of relevant information on preparation and organisation.
With a plethora of challenge walks to choose from this timely guide has much to commend it. No photographs to distract from the central message of 'minimum impact', the Challenge Manual threads a methodical route through team organisation, equipment, personal preparation and survival. A useful handbook for team leaders, support teams and event organisers. Wildernet 84pp. Distributed by Cordee
