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 22nd April we set off, or tried to……

 

 

…… we reached Fort William in Scotland at 12.30pm. After a few hours sleep we started the ascent of Ben Nevis at 6am

 

 

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.
