Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In a moment of madness I agreed to join my father-in-law and brother-in-law on a climb of the 3 highest peaks in the UK and we are planning to do it between the 8<sup>th </sup>and 11<sup>th</sup> of July. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I thought that whilst risking life, limb and lung collapse I would raise money for charity and Cancer Research UK is a cause very close to my heart. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt;">Itinerary</span></span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">8<sup>th</sup> July&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Drive to Ben Nevis (496 miles)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">9<sup>th</sup> July&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Climb Ben Nevis (4409 feet)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Drive to Scafell Pike (252 miles)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">10<sup>th</sup> July&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Climb Scafell Pike (3209 feet)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Drive to Mount Snowdon (210 miles)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">11<sup>th</sup> July&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Climb Mount Snowdon (3560 feet)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Drive home (258 miles)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I hope to be back in the office on 13<sup>th</sup> July and I will gladly show photos from the summit of every mountain and describe in graphic detail the aches I&rsquo;ll no doubt be experiencing in previously unknown muscles!
