Quest4Change conquers the UK!

Three of the Quest team, Si, Jon and Eoin, plus six other keen Quest4Change supporters and intrepid walkers headed off on a madcap dash around the corners of the UK, to complete the Three Peaks Challenge – summitting Snowdon, Scafell and Ben Nevis in under 24 hours…would they make it?  Of course they would!

The 9-strong team reached the top of Snowdon in an impressive three and a half hours and in fairly grim and cloudy conditions…none too shabby.

Scafell posed less of a challenge height-wise, but Simon managed to liven things up in his traditional Bolivian dress, leading one bemused but clearly impressed fellow fell-walker to tell him he looked ‘fabulous’….he clearly hadn’t noticed Si had his trousers on back-to-front!

Ben Nevis proved the longest and most tiring climb, not that this prevented Shane from dancing his way down the slopes.  All were agreed that the views from the top were well worth it:

 Well, nearly all...

Climbing:               13 hours
Driving:                  35 hours
Fundraising total:   £1,095...and counting (donate here)
