3 Peaks Success

2009-06-08T05:49:00.000-07:00

Well done for completing the 3 Peaks Challenge within 24 hours. From the foot of Ben Nevis to the top of Snowdon (via Scafell), the first team did it in 22 hours 59 minutes and 33 seconds and the final group reached the top of Snowdon in 23 hours 25 minutes. This is an unbelievable achievement. It takes heart and pure self belief to complete this challenge... and you have more heart and self belief than anyone would ever know – possibly yourself!
