Story
We did it!!!
The flight from to was relatively uneventful and after a small hiccup with the hire car (we ended up with a VW Sharon – smaller than expected) we were on our way toand our hostel at the base of. After a meal and a whisky (we were inafter all!) we had an early night to rest up for the day ahead.
Friday morning we woke to a typical Scottish day – slightly drizzling with low cloud – we could only see about half way up the mountain. We spent the morning eating and buying food for the trip. By about 12pm it looked like the weather was getting worse so we decided we would forget any plans of doing Scafell in the light and startearly.
So at 1.15pm we headed off. The photo’s tell a lot of the rest, other than how good the beer at the end tasted!!

This is your chance to sponsor them. You can aid their progress and make this all worthwhile by helping to do something good for the children that desperately need the support of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and COSMIC at St Mary's, Paddington.
Please dig deep and sponsor us what you can.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cosmic (Children Of St Mary's Intensive Care) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
