In a bid to support these two diverse and rewarding charities, our teams will be attempting to climb the highest mountains of Scotland, England and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – within 24 hours from start to finish. That’s an estimated total of 27 miles walking, an ascent of 9,000ft and 450 miles of driving!
The teams have been training hard in preparation for the third weekend of September when they’ll embark on their challenge, and fundraising to reach their £10,000 goals has stepped up a notch. You can find details for each of the teams, including ways to sponsor them here:
