AARON RAMSEY is hoping to scale his next Euro 2024 qualifying challenge before climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours.
Wales skipper Ramsey will lead the Dragons into battle against Armenia and Turkey and then turn his attention to the National Three Peaks Challenge and ascending Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa on Wednesday.
The walking distance is 23 miles and a total ascent 10,052 feet with a driving distance of 462 miles.
“I am fully focused on the Welsh games, but we get back and fly up to Scotland and start there first,” said Ramsey, who is embarking on the journey with 10 others to raise funds for the @its.neveryoucharity created in memory of six-year-old Hugh Menai-Davis who died from rhabdomyosarcoma in September 2021.
“The plan will be to do that and work our way down to Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa).
“It’s for a cause that’s really close to my heart as a good friend of mine lost his little one.
“So, I’ll be putting on my walking boots and trying to get my way up those mountains.
”Let’s just focus on these two games first, and get to the top of the table before the Three Peaks.”
