My first participation in a sailing, running and cycling race was the 2012 Barmouth to Fort William 3 Peaks Yacht Race  as a member of the "Brioche Boys".  This race involves running up Snowden, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis and is the ultimate yachting adventure race.  We were a scratch crew of not well prepared enthusiasts in a not at all racy Beneteau Oceanis family cruising yacht.  We had 3 sails, a main a furling genoa and a large spinnaker.  Needless to say we didn't win but we had an absolutely wonderful 5 day adventure and finished within 24 hours of the winner.

In 2021 we entered this race again in our Beneteau First 31.7 "Herbie" under the team name "Be and the Bros".  Again we had a wonderful adventure this time coming 6th out of 16 boats with our runners posting the fastest overall aggregate times for the 3 mountains.
 

In 2023 we entered again as Team "Herbie Rides Again".  This time we won (shows persistance pays off). The picture (me on the right) shows the crew at the finish just outside Fort William.

This race is to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of this historic race.
