WE DID IT !!!!!!


We completed the National 3 Peaks Challenge in 23 hours and 57 minutes !!!!!!! It required a sprint finish to the car park, but we did it.

We all now feel totally dead, but a celebratory drink will be required tonight, although I think just one may be all some will manage.

It was both physically and mentally exhausting and we will all sleep well tonight.

A big thanks goes out to David and Don our drivers, we could not have done it without them.

We were joined by Jim Croton for the last climb, following a fresh pair legs helped us on the final push.
