21 Hikes, 1 Ride/9 Peaks — Peace One Day

Regular reader and contributor to this blog Mark Berry is involved in an initiative that I thought would be worth sharing with you all.

The 21st September is the International Day of Peace.

To support the Day of Peace Mark and his brothers have conceived a very different kind of event.

Over five days ending on Peace Day 2010, they will be walking to the summit of the UK’s 9 highest peaks, and raising a Peace One Day flag on each of them in celebration. The peaks are all part of two mountain ranges, 70 miles apart, in Scotland, and the journey between the two will be made by bike, so that the entire event will be self powered! The final peak will be Ben Nevis on Peace Day itself, and anyone who wants to meet Mark and his brothers there is more than welcome!

This event is the brothers’ attempt to support their goal. They’ve produced a short film to promote their efforts:
