Congratulations to John, Daniel, Katie, David, Tracy, Jason, Tina, Colin, Peter, Andy, Susan, Karen and Chris. Today I was working with the Cancer Research UK team at the end of their 3 Peaks Challenge. They had difficult weather on Snowdon (the train wasn't running and the cafe was closed), they had attrocious weather in England, and then today - it got worse! The weather forecast was for perhaps gusts of up to 80 mph and prolonged driving rain.
But as it turned out the weather wasn't as bad as expected on the lower half of Ben Nevis. So we quickly made it to the upper half.
On the upper slopes there was the rain and cold but where was that wind?
So we made it quite happily(!) to the summit - well done to everybody...
After the last 3 days of hard effort they hope to raise up to £5000!
A couple of lads had carried an ironing board up the Ben today and ironed a jacket on the summit!
The ironing board on it's journey down.
Back in the Ben Nevis Inn they celebrated completing the 3 Peaks Challenge and more importantly raising all that money for Cancer Research UK...
