As you can see from the photos we made it to the top of all five peaks and home again, and managed to do so in 17:30hrs, very tiring, but a worthwhile achievement that won't be forgotten for some time. As you can see from the photos the weather was quite changeable, with quite a large amount of snow on Ben Macdui.
The challenge was :There are nine >4000ft peaks in Britain. Five
of these mighty mountains
are in the Cairngorms, which are five out of the six highest mountains in Britain.
We will be climbing the five >4000ft peaks on the 26 June 2010, walking 38 kilometres, climbing over 2500 metres within 24 hours. We estimate a total walking time of 17 hours (weather dependent), commencing walking at around 5am and finishing around 10pm.
Climbing the following peaks:
Cairngorm 1245m
Ben Macdui 1309m
Cairn Toul 1291m
Sgor an Lochain Uaine (Angels Peak) 1258m
Braeriach 1296mTeam Members :
