Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">The National Three Peaks walk involves climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales. These are Ben Nevis (1344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1085m) respectively. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">Different people will take different periods of time to do the 3 peaks. Those who are brave, noble, or just plain stupid, try to do all 3 within the space of 24 hours &ndash; That&rsquo;s us!!</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gareth Hayward, Brett Thompson, Glynn Hayward &amp; Dylan James will be attempting this challenge on Friday 18 May 2012.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is the first of Gareth Hayward&rsquo;s four challenges to celebrate over 30 years of Alide Hire Services providing a quality service to the building industry across the South West.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our chosen charity for this event is Weston Hospicecare, one very dear to both Gareth &amp; Glynn, as they recently lost their father to cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The hospice provided wonderful support, care &amp; friendship to him &amp; helped him come to terms with his illness. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gareth Hayward also lost his father-in-law Stuart Low to cancer two years ago; both Gareth &amp; Glynn will be remembering Stuart along with their father whilst attempting this challenge.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">We all appreciate the economic climate is an extremely difficult one at the moment, but we would like to raise &pound;1,000 for the Weston Hospicecare on this challenge, so please dig deep &amp; support Alide Hire Services &amp; an extremely worthwhile cause &ndash; Many thanks from us all! </span></span></p>
