Update

To set the scene it took us 8,5 hours to get to the hostel on Friday , unfortunately all of our plans had to chance and instead of Team 2 starting Ben Nevis 8am Saturday and Team 2 starting 10am Saturday, the weather forecast was looking grim on all 3 mountains so to try and avoid the bad weather the start times were Team 2 alarm set 230am start 4;40am - Team 1 alarm set 4:30am start 6:25am - none of us got much sleep in the hostel so the average was 2 hours per person. 

Team 1 

50% off the team completed the National 3 Peaks in sub 23 hours !  With very little sleep and they pretty much ran down every mountain !! They were In a mini bus that was not restricted speed and had  a designated driver who was not climbing but had some help from Daz. This including arriving at the summit of Snowdon with 50+mph wind and rain on the summit and decent with no food since end of Ben Nevis.

Team 2

The remaining 50% successfully climbed Ben Nevis & Scafell Pike but had to abandon Snowdon due to severe weather conditions 50-70mph wind and rain! They successfully completed both of the 2 mountains in sub 19 hours including travelling - with no designated driver the drivers climbed the mountain and Dan the hero did the rest after Ben Nevis .. and the mini bus was restricted at 62mph 

A couple of injuries BIG GET WELL soon to Colin who hurt his back after falling in the decent of Ben Nevis and could not continue with Scafell and Snowdon. 

I was in Team 2 and although I did not make Snowdon I am very happy it only took me 3 hours 40 mins to climb  Ben Nevis and 2 hours 35 mins to climb Scafell Pike ! Don’t ask about the decents 

I managed to climb Ben Nevis and Scafell with just 90 minutes sleep from the night before ! So chuffed 

I will never forget the decent down from Scafell in pitch black . 50mph wind, rain, hail , side rain , poor visibility and wet streams / waterfalls and rivers we had to wade through! 

Myself and some amazing humans from Nacro and their friends and family are taking part in the 3 peaks challenge - no one told me this was within 24 hours when I signed up for this!

Not only is this an amazing charity to sponsor and support but it’s also a great physical life accomplish!
