3 Peaks challenge



Friday afternoon

Over the past few days I have been working on the Scafell Pike leg of the 3 peaks challenge.  Friday was an extremely hot day and plenty of liquids were required.  Saturday evening and early Sunday morning saw teams taking part in the Asthma challenge, again in very mild conditions.  Saturday evening I was leading Team 'Nutters' who had a really good steady ascent.  A great bunch of guys and galls with friendly banter all the way round.  Hope they managed to complete the challenge with their ascent of Snowdon then have a few well earned 'refreshments' at the evening function.  3 hours after completion with Team Nutters and I was off again along with Craig and a group of 14.  A trail of headtorches saw us reach the col with the light coming up and no more need for the headtorches.  A cracking view from the top with the sun just about to rise.  Another steady ascent and good luck to the guys on completing their challenge.
