If you've followed our progress on the
website/Facebook/twitter, you'll know by now that we completed our 3 peaks
challenge in 26 hours. A bit disappointing to be a couple of hours out, but
elated that we have raised over £5000.00 on the just giving site already. There
is still some money to come in from our individual sponsors so we are not sure
of the full total raised yet, needless to say a massive thank you to ALL our
sponsors, I'm sure Cancer Research UK will be delighted with the total.
Rather than describe our adventure blow by blow, we
decided to put all the video and photos together into a short film clip and
that will be on the website in the near future and possibly on this blog page
too. We all had an amazing time, it was very hard going sometimes but an
experience that it would be difficult to replicate.
I can't speak for the others, but here are a few of my
personal highlights that will stay with me forever.
- Introducing the guys to Steel Panther on the way to Fort William.
- Climbing Ben Nevis.
- Photographing a wild stag on Ben Nevis (it was only on a compact camera, I'll be back to make a proper job of it one day).
- The blizzard at the summit of Ben Nevis.
- A clear sky on Scafell Pike, (look at those stars Joe! ).
- Jason's pole dancing on Scafell.....bent one, snapped one!
- Painkillers by the dozen!
- The views from Snowdon, the weather was most kind to us in Wales.
- Adrian's new collection.
- Our collection of injuries, aches and pains.
Overall......a fantastic adventure with a great bunch
of guys and we raised some money for a worthy charity.
We'd like to say big thank you to all the Sponsors and
supporters of our trek, to Dave, who cornered startled celebrities and filmed them
for the website and to all the guys went through different levels of pain to
get from Scotland to Wales in one piece.
