Fitness being probably the best prep, I agreed to do the Yorkshire 3 peaks. Did it in less than 12 hours and am now rather sore. Feeling awesome though.
Used a survival water filter straw at the top of one of the mountains - you know what? When you read in books that a mountain stream tastes sweet you wonder whether the author is just being lazy using an adjective s/he knows nothing about, but no, the water was beautifully sweet and cold and the best I've tasted. There were lots of sheep around so I made sure I was confident about what lay upstream - we've all heard the tale about the sheep carcass.
