Corbett Challenge 2004

The third Corbett Challenge took place on Saturday 18th September 2004. This time the Challenge was to put a team of walkers on the top of the 110 mountains in England and Wales over 2,500' between 12.00 and 2.00 on the day.

Teams of walkers came from many organisations including:

AMEC, ARUP, AWG, Capita, Carlbro, Engenica, Entec, Environment Agency, Faber Maunsell, George, Hutchison Associates, HMB Alliance, J Bacon Consulting, KMI Water, MJ Gleeson, MWH, Northumbrian Water, OFWAT, PURAC, Rotarians, SEPA , Severn Trent Laboratories, Severn Trent Plc, Thames Water, United Utilities, 3 Valleys, Vertex, WaterAid, Wessex Water, WS Atkins, Yorkshire Water.

2004 was the first time that WaterAid used an online registration system for teams of walkers to enter via the Corbett Challenge website. The system worked really well and 173 teams, a total of 920 walkers, took part. Unfortunately once again the challenge was not achieved due to several teams pulling out at the eleventh hour.
