The National Three Peaks Challenge is a well known phrase amongst the more adventurous. This challenge involves climbing the three highest mountains in the UK within 24 hours

Snowdon, in Wales (1085m)

Has we all know 180 is a big family and over the past couple of years many within the branch have over come many struggles and lost loved ones.

With the support of family, friends and work colleagues, these tough times can be made easier.

So everyone dig deep and help out those who need it. You never know we might need it at the end of this walk.
