The classic adventure race for teams of runners and sailors since 1977
One of the oldest and most remarkable multi-sport endurance races in the world.
Sail the wild West Coast from Barmouth to Fort William. Run to the summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis.
Miles of Sailing
Miles of Cycling
Miles of Running
Overcoming some of the most feared obstacles on the West Coast:
Bardsey Sound, Caernarfon Bar, The Swellies Mull of Gallow, Mull of Kintyre, and the Sound of Luing
Tough job for the sailors, what about the runners?
Some might say that the concept of the 3 peaks is old hat. What’s the big deal when every man and his charity dog has done it. That might be true, however this 3 peaks is not that 3 peaks for one simple reason. They were delivered to the foot of the three mountains by motorcar.
These runs start from the shore
25 mile run from Caenarfon
Scafell Pike
40 mile round trip cycle from Whitehaven 18 mile run from Black Sail YHA
16 mile run from Corpach
Like the idea but short of time? Welcome to the Two Peaks
We get it. Not everyone has time to deliver a boat to Barmouth and sail up to Fort William before getting the boat back to it’s home. New for 2024 is the Two Peaks. Two mountains and 150-200 miles of sailing. Still a feat of endurance and a great start for first timers.
Snowdon and Scafell Pike
Start in Barmouth Enjoy the race build up Finish in Whitehaven
Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis
Start in Whitehaven Take in the post race celebrations Finish in Fort William
Like the idea but not really into racing? Welcome to the Challenge class .
We get it. Not everyone is in to IRC certificates, carbon sails, and all that shouting. Pick your class and do it your way.
Racing Classes
The authentic 3 peaks experience since 1977 Race under IRC, YTC (free certificate from RYA) , or MOCRA Crews of 5 (6 with a female) Strict engine usage rules
Challenge Class

See the Route
Read a detailed explanation of what goes on during the race.
Changes for 2024: The entry fee has been reduced, we have been able to do this as their will be no marshalling at the yacht landing points, times will be taken from trackers that are provided. The finish is at Queen Anne's Battery in Plymouth, those teams wishing to stay the night in the marina will need to book. From past experience we would expect teams to be finishing on Saturday evening (although this did not happen in 2022, so no guarantees)
Changes for 2019: The CHANGES TO SAILING ROUTE are: Leg 3 is now from Fowey to Plymouth without any need to go around Eddystone lighthouse. An additional Leg 4 is added: Leg 4 - Plymouth to Eddystone lighthouse and back, this leg has special rules in that the crew of the yacht does not include all the crew as 2 crew members have been dropped off to go to Yes Tor and back. CHANGES TO LAND LEG 4 - Cyclists must use Sustrans Route 27 only as far as Tavistock, once there they can use the A386 to get to Meldon Resevoir.
What would be the most suitable Bike? The cycling is mostly on country lanes and tarmaced bicycle track. I would recommend a gravel bike (or road bike with puncture resistant tyres). The routes are hilly so good brakes and a decent bottom gear (or very strong legs, or both!) will help. A mountain bike would be ok but slow! A time trial bike would not be suitable. The last bike ride Plymouth to Okehampton has some rough sections everyone used road bikes in 2013, but some competitors thought that a wider than standard road tyre would be more appropriate. It is very likely that you will be doing some cycling at night, the Plymouth to Okehamton route is particularly tricky so I recommend that you have the best possible lights (lots of Lumens!).
Will my bike be secure while I do the run? We will have Marshalls at the "Bike Parks" so your bikes will be safe.
Do we need a land based support Crew? Most crews do persuade someone to transport their bikes about, however it is perfectly allowable and possible to transport your bikes on your yacht. Yachts can go alongside at all the stops so that bikes can be unloaded. The 2015 and 2016 races were won by a crew who did not have a support crew and carried their bikes on the boat. If your boat is too small to carry bikes and you are struggling with finding a support crew talk to the race organiser (Tim) and he may be able to arrange help.
What will the tide be doing around the Lizard? The tide should be in your favour as you round the lizard (Check tide tables) . In fact the race start time has been moved forward this year (2024) to 09:30 so that yachts should be able to get around the Lizard before the tide turns. In the right weather conditions the "inshore passage" may be a good option.
Will there be Marshalls at the "Peaks"? No there will be no marshalls at the "Peaks", instead a selfie will be required and to prove that you reached the "Peak".
Use of Engines? Engines will be allowed to be turned on before entering harbours, this is for safety reasons. The race instructions will give detailed instructions as to exactly when engines will be allowed.
Rules Governing Crews Crews must be made up of 4, 5 or 6 people (6 is recommended). The running and cycling can be done by 2 or more of the crew. Each crew must get 2 crew members to each peak. We will be giving a prize for the fastest crew that puts all of their crew on the top of at least one "Peak" and for the fastest crew that uses the same 2 crew for all the land challenges. One member of every crew must be nominated the skipper. The skipper of the yacht will be responsible for the yacht and his crews' safety while at sea.
Age Rules Crew must be 16 or over on the day of the race, the skipper must be over 18, any crew under 18 doing one of the "Peaks" must be accompanied by an over 18 crew member.
Handicaping We will use the YTC handicap system. If boats do not have a YTC number then we ask for a number of measurements and calculate the number.

Well-known member
Yep, I've done it before and I'm in again this year. Good fun weekend as a sailor but hard graft for the runners. No idea how it compares. I think 3 of the 4 entries so far are largely Royal Marines! Yoda

Rare super blue moon peaks Monday night over the High Desert. What to know.
High Desert stargazers are preparing for the first of four consecutive supermoons in 2024, with the first appearing over Southern California skies on Monday night.
The rare super blue moon's first full appearance began Sunday and will continue through Wednesday morning. But the best viewing is expected to be Monday.
Monday’s moon will be one of the biggest and brightest full moons of the year because of its close distance to the Earth. The moon will appear about 15% brighter than average.
The moon will orbit about 14,000 miles closer to Earth than average, making it a supermoon, according to EarthSky.org.
Supermoon explained
NASA officials explained that the moon travels around Earth in an elliptical orbit, or an elongated circle, with Earth closer to one side of the ellipse.
Each month, the moon passes through the point closest to Earth (perigee) and the point farthest from Earth (apogee).
When the moon is at or near its closest point to Earth at the same time as it is full, it is called a “supermoon.” During this event, because the full moon is a little bit closer to us than usual, it appears especially large and bright in the sky.
The term "supermoon" was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 as either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth.
How rare is the super blue moon?
The August 2023 blue moon carried the name “blue” because it was the second full moon in a single month. However, the blue moon of Aug. 19, 2024, is different, according to EarthSky.
The August blue moon is the third of four full moons in a season, with a single season being defined as the time between a solstice and an equinox. Those moons carry the name Blue Moon as well.
The idea of a blue moon as the second full moon in a month is more recent than the idea of a blue moon as the third of four full moons in a season, EarthSky explained.
The first recorded use of "blue moon" in English dates from 1528. Speculations on the origin of the term include an old English phrase that means "betrayer moon" because it led to mistakes in setting the dates for Lent and Easter.
Or it may be a comparison to rare events such as when dust in the atmosphere makes the moon appear blue. Since the 1940s the term "blue moon" has also been used for the second full moon in a month that has two full moons.
The last seasonal blue moon was in August 2021, with the next one in May 2027. Another monthly blue moon should occur in May 2026, according to EarthSky.
While supermoons and blue moons occur fairly regularly when they align, it is rare, typically occurring about every 10 years. The last monthly super blue moon happened a year ago, but the next super blue moon of both varieties is not expected until 2037.
Sturgeon moon
Monday’s full moon is also a sturgeon moon, named because of the giant lake sturgeon – the native freshwater fish of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain that was readily caught during this part of summer, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
The Old Farmer's Almanac , which first began publishing the names for the full moons in the 1930s, said the sturgeon was a primary food source for Native Americans who lived near the two lakes.
More supermoons in 2024 include the harvest moon
The next full moon will be the harvest moon on Sept. 17. In addition to being one of the best-known full moons of the year, part of the moon will pass through Earth's shadow during the night, causing it to become partially eclipsed.
The closest full moon of the year will be the hunter's moon on Oct. 17. The full beaver moon will appear on Nov. 15

The startup is betting that there will be a thriving market for liquid oxygen (LOX) refined from lunar water ice, and that harvesting this resource will be key to humanity’s expansion throughout the solar system.

During World War II, more than half of the light ammunition used by the Soviet Army was manufactured in Barnaul in factories that had been relocated there from Moscow, Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Odessa, and Kharkov following the invasion of the Nazis.

Barnaul – the view from above
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Cities , Photos , Travel
Barnaul is a city with a population of about 632 thousand people located in the south of Western Siberia at the confluence of the Barnaulka and the Ob rivers, the administrative center of the Altai Krai .
It was founded as a settlement at the Akinfiy Demidov silver smelting plant in 1730. The blast furnace on the city’s coat of arms reminds of those times. Today, it is a large industrial, cultural, medical, and educational center of Siberia . Photos by: Slava Stepanov .

There are two large regions called Altai: the Altai Republic with the administrative center in Gorno-Altaysk and the Altai Krai with its capital Barnaul. The most famous attractions are in the Altai Mountains, but you can also spend some great days in Altai Krai. Here I am telling you where to go in the Altai Krai to have a great time.
Visit Belokurikha - to walk along a terrenkur
Visit Altayskoye - to learn all about Altai herbs
Visit Basargino and experience life in a modern village
Basargino looks like it was created in some kind of computer simulation game. And there, on a little piece of land you need to arrange cozy wooden comfortable houses, a farm, a church, a cafe and a restaurant with insanely delicious meals, an apiary, lakes with fish, a chicken coop and pastures. You also should have cows, pigs, goats and sheep. And also wolves and yaks to make the visitors even more delighted.
Visit the forge in Belokurikha and forge a horseshoe for good luck
There is not a feminine equivalent for a blacksmith, therefore I will simply introduce Anna Biletskaya as the blacksmith. Anna, armed with a heavy hammer and an anvil, is able to forge a horseshoe for a horse in 15 minutes and a decorative horseshoe for luck in only 10 minutes. Well the last one is more in demand lately. Anna opened her smithy to visitors a few years ago. This blacksmith in a skirt shows the whole process during her short master classes: first heat a piece of metal over a fire, then take a hammer and beat it well on the anvil, pull it back, then bend it and put it back into the fire. Finally, cool and clean it.
Visit "The Gold of Altai"(Zoloto Altaya) - to bath in Sanduny or to ride a horse
A hot bath filled with herbs such as hypericum, yarrow, camomile and also a rejuvenating bathtub - these are the Russian answer to the best Asian spa with plumeria flowers. Well, the Altai version looks more brutal, but you will quickly feel the great effect. The herbs are collected and specially prepared here, in "The Gold of Altai" eco-hotel on the shore of the lake. Bathhouses are warmed up in both old Russian traditional ways: the "black" banya (a smoke goes out of bathhouse through cracks in wooden walls) and the "white" banya (a smoke goes out of the bathhouse through a pipe). The professional bath attendants will help guests adjust the right amount of steam and smack them briskly all over their bodies with special bath brooms. The largest horse farm in this district is also located in the hotel area; you should not miss the chance to ride a horse at least around the local territory.
What else to do in Altai:
- Take a walk through the pine forest near Barnaul
- Stop by the village of Srostki, where Vasily Shukshin (the soviet movie director) was born
- Spend a day at the "Biruzovaya Katun" Resort
- Take a walk along Biysk and visit the museum of the Chuysky Tract
- Relax in the "Altay Palace", check-in to the only official gaming zone in Siberia
- Go to Lake Aya

Roman Titov: Pitchpoled & dismasted 300 miles off Scotland
- Katy Stickland

Golden Globe Race hopeful Roman Titov sails 307 miles under jury rig after his yacht pitcholed and dismasted in storm force conditions off Scotland
In December 2021, Russian yachtsman Roman Titov left Norway to sail south and earn qualifying miles for the 2022 Golden Globe Race .
On New Year’s Day, more than 200 miles off the north-west coast of Scotland, his 33ft Colin Archer-type cutter Vperyod was pitchpoled and dismasted in atrocious conditions.
In this account, translated from the Russian by singlehanded sailor Roger Taylor , Roman describes how he spent 17 days under jury rig bringing Vperyod to safety at Ullapool.
The wind began to strengthen and by 2000 on New Year’s Day had reached storm force, writes Roman Titov .
I made all my heavy weather sailing provisions, but at 2048 the waves pitchpoled the boat over her bow and onto her starboard side.
I flew overboard but was held by my harness. As I was wearing six layers of clothing, it was very difficult to climb back on board and my face was wounded in the process.
There was about two feet of water below, the engine was submerged, the starter and service batteries were underwater, and the starboard navigation light was carried away, along with one of the washboards and the sprayhood.

The mast had broken underwater, and its bits were lying along the deck. The standing rigging was intact and taking the strain.
The gantry for the solar panels was completely bent and destroyed, the wind had torn off the panels, the bowsprit was snapped and stanchions bent.
The whole deck was a tangle of wire and rope.
I tried to send a distress signal on the VHF radio , both automatically and by voice, but after five minutes the service battery had discharged, due to a short circuit, and all the electrics failed.
Below, the locker lids had all been ripped off, so that food, gear and electronics had all ended up in the water.
I turned on my Iridium satellite phone, but it could not find any satellites and I switched it off, unable to send a distress call with it.
For 30 minutes the mast lay on the deck, then flew overboard. The sea state was getting worse, and I was repeatedly banging my head and nose.
The two sea anchors which I had set the night before, along with the mast and the remains of the rigging overboard, were doing a good job stabilising the boat.

There were no leaks, but the bilge pumps were not working, as there was no electric power.
It took two days with a bucket to clear all the water.
I had entered a struggle for survival.
The outside temperature was 4°, and it was 10° down below.
My clothes dried on me and after a few days were no longer a problem. But I had to sleep in the dampness.
I toughened up and felt that the cold was no longer an annoyance.
I sorted out all the gear , food and tools .

On the third day I found the bolt cutters and was able to cut the shrouds and backstay. But the mast was hanging on the bobstay chain, which I was unable to cut through or unhook.
This was a serious complication, as what was left of the mast and sails was acting as an anchor, and the yacht was not moving at all.
Neither had the sea relented. On 1 and 2 January, the waves were huge, with a wave period of one and a half to two minutes.
Waves like this are not dangerous for yachts as long as the crests don’t break, but they are a menacing sight.
Finding a safe haven
Two days later I was within sight of the Isle of Lewis. I reckoned this to be a safe place and tried as hard as I could to get close to the shore.
Since 12 January the wind had backed from west to south-west and was blowing parallel to the coast.
I was afraid that it would go to the south and carry me north past Lewis and Scotland into the Norwegian Sea.
This was the worst possible scenario and I tried everything I could to get close to the shore and into the coastal shipping zone.

I was also hoping to get into the North Minch, to be protected from the waves and find a place where I could approach the coast.
By this time, I had got my AIS working.
At dawn on 15 January, I realised that I was being carried past the North Minch and that I might have to head for the Orkneys.
My mainsail was now ready, and I quickly raised it. Vperyod immediately sailed higher and faster. There was a fresh wind, and I calculated we were doing between 3 and 5 knots and sailing within 70 to 75° of the wind, which was very satisfying.
I was able to enter the North Minch and shelter from the ocean waves behind Lewis, but the wind was carrying me quickly towards a lee shore.
During the night the staysail began to tear.

Man overboard: tactics that really work for couples

By the next day the lighthouse on Stoer Head was visible.
The wind, as before, was carrying me into the shore and there was a strong possibility that Vperyod would be thrown onto the headland.
The engine was ready to start, but I waited as long as possible, as I still did not know how long I would need it for.
I had enough fuel for 40 hours of motoring. I did not know how much charge was left in the starting batteries, so the engine would have to keep going without a stop until we were moored in harbour.
I left starting the engine until I could clearly see surf breaking on the headland. With the engine going, my situation was better, but there was still the time factor to consider.

Studying the chart , I could only see two possible bays for an approach.
The nearest bay was unattractive, on account of the wind and big waves at the entrance, so I chose the second option, the town of Ullapool.
It was further, but the entrance to Loch Broom was sheltered by the coastline and islands.
I planned the next 24 hours carefully, designating waypoints and the times between them.

I had only a chart at a scale of 1: 2,000,000, so my navigation was somewhat approximate.
I decided to enter the loch at first light, so that I could moor by sunset.
I worked out a safe place to wait and spent the whole night there, motoring under the engine.
I took down the staysail but left the mainsail up; it gave some directional stability and acted like a windvane , so I was able to sleep a little.
Land in sight
At dawn on 17 January, I was at the spot where I had planned to start my entry into Loch Broom. I would need six hours.
For the first four hours I struggled against a headwind and waves, as the wind had gone into the south, but after turning to enter the loch, the sea calmed down and I had a following wind.
The journey up the loch was straightforward. I raised the Russian flag, took down all the sail and motored at about 5 or 6 knots.
Right up until Ullapool, I did not see a single place suitable for anchoring , nor were there any pontoons or moorings.

I was getting seriously worried about finding somewhere to go ashore. There was no marine traffic, no yachts, no fishing boats, just the steep bare cliffs.
It was only having passed the town of Ullapool that I saw the harbour, with its jetties, moorings and vessels at anchor .
My radio was not working, so I could not ask for help, and nobody came to meet me.
I chose a spot and tied alongside, with just an hour of daylight left.
The port services had in fact picked me up on AIS, and seeing that I was motoring in and was able to moor independently, had not sent anyone to take my mooring lines.
At 1530 I reported to the harbour office and at 1630 I went to sleep.

One by one I had solved all the seemingly fatal problems which I faced.
Over the course of 17 days, I had been able to clear the boat of water, make a flame, dry wet clothing, erect a jury rig, sew small sails, repair and start the engine.
With just a marine chart, sextant and compass I had brought the yacht into a Scottish port, a voyage under jury rig of 307 miles.
Translator’s Postscript: Vperyod is now ashore at the Johnson and Loftus yard near Ullapool, awaiting repair and construction of a new rig.
Roman Titov has flown back to Russia to raise more sponsorship so that he can continue with his plans to take part on the Golden Globe Race , which begins on 4 September 2022.
