The Challenge!

Trev: I have just got back home from the Climb It Change Three Peaks Challenge and you could say I’m a bit tired! I’m really proud of the whole team including our driver and navigator but especially of Rich who climbed all three mountains and got back in twenty three hours and fifty two minutes and Chris who took just a few minutes longer. Unfortunately the heat, a dodgy knee and dodgier stomach stopped me from conquering Snowdon. I am disappointed not to have done the challenge this time but I’m sure that with different preparation and on another day I will make it one day.
It was funny how we were all really tired after our journey up to Glasgow for our stop over night but then we all slept badly. Next morning though we were all raring to go but just had to wait and kick our heels in Fort William for a few hours before the time to go.
Ben Nevis has some beautiful views but we didn’t see much of them because there’s no time to stop to admire just climb every mountain!
The weather was hot and clear for all three mountains – misty bad weather is a real challenge for most three peakers so we were really blessed with that. Thank you God!! Thanks are due to every member of the team because of the way everyone supported and encouraged each other in the tough bits of which there were quite a few! Thanks to all the friends and families who have sponsored us and have prayed for us. Most of all thanks to God who gave us these mountains to climb and the strength to do it.
Remember all the money we raise is going to fund the work of Christian Aid around the world. As it says on the T shirts ‘We can’t stand still whilst people go hungry. Can you?’
