- 15. Who Own The 3 Peaks? Snowdonia is essentially owned by its inhabitants . Up to 75% is in private ownership, while the remaining land is divided between the Forestry Commission, Dŵr Cymru, the National Trust, Crown Common Land and others, with the Snowdonia National Park Authority (central planning authority) owning less than 1%. Bought by John Muir Trust for conservation Donated to National Trust in 1920 for conservation
- 16. Voices from management The Park Authority currently has a policy which states that it will not support events with more than 30 participants. This has no effect on the number of events or of participants and merely causes some organisers not to contact the Authority at all. The Authority has no powers to limit the number or size of events. We urge people to consider other ways of raising funds and to think twice about taking part. We strongly recommend that anyone climbing Ben Nevis carries suitable food, drink and clothing and is competent with a map and compass. Please read and follow local safety advice. Do not rely on others to get you down! We urge charities and fundraising organisations involved with the Three Peaks Challenge event during 2008 to carefully observe the relevant codes of practice for this event. Snowdonia National Park Authority John Muir Trust The Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB) and the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA)

Notes de l'éditeur
- To date there is no one definition of sustainability and sustainable development with various authors using different definitions and terms. These are some of the most widely recognised definitions, not least of which is the latter as put forth by the brudtland report. I consider it worth mentioning that in the eyes of many eco warriors these views could be considered somewhat anthropocentric (i.e. We are looking out for the environment for the sake of humans and not the environments own sake. Biocentrism takes the view that all forms of life are equally valuable and that human existence is not at the centre of existence
- Some of the main sustainability issues associated with the three peaks challenge are as follows: Firstly is the idea that residents sleep is disturbed by hundreds of walkers arriving at remote mountainous locations at un sociable hours. Given the geographical nature of the challenge, it makes sense to start at Ben Nevis at 6pm, get up and down before last light and then travel between there and Scafel over night, arriving a day break which is approx 4am. Mountain Rescue teams are being stretched to the limit by inexperienced hikers who phone for help over petty problems. One couple called the emergency number and demanded a helicopter because they were late for a dinner party, while another walker said they were just "tired and fed up". (Daily Telegraph) The charity, which is run entirely by volunteers, says there is a growing problems of people taking to the hills without proper equipment. Others cannot read maps or do not bother to check the weather before they leave, while one walker even set off uphill in their slippers. Andy Simpson, a spokesman for the charity, said more people were hiking in general, and in some areas the organisation is struggling to cope.
- However, one of the main problems associated with the challenge is concerned with its 24 hour nature, meaning that visitors do not stick around to spend in the local shops bars café’s. At best might be the local petrol station – which brings about its own sustainability issues. If anything, the start and end locations will experience some visitor spending due to hikers taking up overnight accommodation/staying at camp sites before and after. However, the Lakes receives very little of this spending, with challengers bringing an overal nagative to the area.
- Findings have shown that Rats and scavengers are now finding home much further up the mountain as humans leave them scrpas of food… Other impacts include habituation, i.e some animals bcome used to being fed by tourist, the city in the countryside, i.e car parks, toilets, shops etc… Finish with the carrying capacity
- Honey pot – a deliberate concentration of tourist activities and attractions with a tight geographical area which means less pressure on other more fragile areas nearby. Maintain footpaths – talk of the example on the Pennie way and how footpath retoration encouraged walkers to stick to paths rather than veering off. Also comment on how this meant that the bird species were able to safely nest within 50m of the path as opposed to 100m when the path was poor restored Remarketing the event – i.e certify the even and make it more official so to impose stricter rules and guidelines. Charity guidelines – perhaps encourage some of the charity raised to be placed back into the national parks.
