Does doing something "for charity" give you special rights?

For which it appears there was a queue

The queue was self imposed by others for photos, not to touch the trig point. There is no need to queue. Perhaps photos should be limited to a one hour period between 9 to 10am to stop it causing problems for others who wish to “summit”?

The trig point could easily sustain 5 or 6 people touching it every few seconds to avoid a queue forming.

The three peaks challenge of the UK is hardly a challenge unless you are walking or cycling between the peaks. Plus driving between them is environmentally poor.

The Three National Peaks is a 24 hour challenge. I doubt you'd get many cycling between the peaks in that time.

And causes much disruption (and litter and **** matter) to local communities at all times of day and night. At least ban on overnight parking in Eyri national park should stop some of that.

AFAIK the Three Peaks is split very roughly 50:50 driving vs hillwalking.

To knock out the 'big three' in around 12 hours or so within a 24 hour window is a fair undertaking for a reasonably fit mountain hiker.

For maybe high 90's percent (guess with no scientific basis) of the population it would be impossible.

For that reason I think it is a pretty challenging challenge. Even using car transport.

It's a weird collision between obsession with queueing, the desperate need to have a box to tick (or trig point to touch) to validate an activity, and sundry strange attitudes to charity and sponsorship.

I find it hard to have an opinion on it. It's all so odd.
