Hey guys!

The DCUK team are looking for ideas for what we can do this year to raise money for a diabetes charity. As many of you know, last year we climbed Snowdon to raise money for JDRF, but this year we want our forum members to decide what we do!

Leave your ideas here... and please be kind ;)

Haha Andy please have a bit of mercy on us!

The general level of fitness among the team is quite varied, but we'd prefer something that would be appropriate for all levels of fitness if possible
 
Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, taking in the summits of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.

McMillian Cancer Relief are doing this challenge in June of this year.
 
Or if you want really gruelling you can escape your diabetes by following King Charles II in his escape: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch's_Way

I have walked a small section of this on a hot sunny day - beautiful countryside
 
How's about rowing the River Severn from wales down to the where the Severn estuary becomes the Bristol channel? A team effort and something a bit different.;)
 
Some great ideas, everyone. Keep 'em coming :D
 
Put a diabetic on every peak in England, Scotland, Ireland & Wales!(Or highest point in each county)
