The Three peaks Challenge was our last practice before climbing Kilimanjaro. The aim was to complete the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales within 48 Hours. We were also raising money for Christian Aid.

On the 22^nd April we set off, or tried to……

and this was just the beginning!

“I am sure they are around here somewhere”

It wasn’t long before we could see the snow

An hour later and we reached it!

“just a nice flat walk to the summit” said Mr Allen

At 9am we made it to the summit of Ben Nevis. Fantastic!

Everybody was in good spirits at the bottom

After a long slog down again, it was time to cool the feet before our drive to the lake district.
