Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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 8th and 11th of July.

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.

Itinerary

8th July            Drive to Ben Nevis (496 miles)

9th July            Climb Ben Nevis (4409 feet)

                        Drive to Scafell Pike (252 miles)

 10th July          Climb Scafell Pike (3209 feet)

                         Drive to Mount Snowdon (210 miles)

 11th July          Climb Mount Snowdon (3560 feet)

                         Drive home (258 miles)

I hope to be back in the office on 13th July and I will gladly show photos from the summit of every mountain and describe in graphic detail the aches I’ll no doubt be experiencing in previously unknown muscles! Thanks in advance for your support.
