Default Three Peaks Charity Challenge

As part of a team of 30 I'm setting off to climb the highest mountains of Scotland, England and Wales starting at 0500 tomorrow. This is being done in aid of Erskine Hospital, Royal Navy and Royal Marine’s Children’s Fund and Talking2Minds and any donations made will be matched 1:1 by my employer.

If anyone would like to make a donation to these worthy causes, you can do so at the link below:

Virgin Money Giving | Fundraising | BAE Systems Surface Ships 3 Peaks Challenge

Thank you for your support

Hi mate, well done, only just returned from Snowdon myself this afternoon.

Seen many groups on the way up/down promoting various charities on thier shirts.

Lovely place and glad the weather held out.

Was up and down in 4 and half hours.

Well done again.

Clocked the thread title and did wonder if you worked for BAE. Was speaking to my mate on Sat who said some of his colleagues were doing it. Sounded pretty tough. Are you based in Scotstoun?
