This year a team of IPS employees from around the country have decided to take on three challenges in a bit to raise money for charity. The team come from different disciplines within IPS including Finance, Operations & Engineering.

The three challenges are:

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks ( 27th May) - 24 miles, 3 Peaks totalling an ascent of 5200ft in under 12 hours.

The Welsh 3 Peaks (24th June) - 17 miles, 3 Peaks totalling an ascent of 7657ft in under 24 hours. It incorporates Snowdon ( North Wales), Cadir Idris (Mid Wales) & Pen-y-fan (South Wales)

The National 3 Peaks (26th August) involves climbing the highest peaks of Scotland, England & Wales. This challenge covers 23 miles of hiking, an ascent of 10052 ft, to be completed in under 24hours (including the travel time across three countries). The three peaks are Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike ( England) and Snowdon (Wales)

Over the past few years we have all lost family, friends and colleagues. This is a way of funding the research and development of ground breaking treatment of Cancer and Heart Disease. The other charity attached to our fundraising efforts is the Scottish Mountain Rescue, who with the help of voulunteers help keep people safe on the mountains.
