On Saturday 3rd August a group of clients from Hoops Health & Fitness embarked on the gruelling challenge of completing the 3 peaks in 24 hours. They completed it and raised a wonderful £2,800 for CRY.
“A group of 16 clients from Hoops Health & Fitness completed the 3 peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hours. We left Tonyrefail at 5am on Saturday 3rd August drove all day up to Ben Nevis, started our climb at 4:50pm to be met by very difficult conditions on the mountain, 70 mph gusts and -7 wind chill, luckily the weather brightened up on the way down and we all made it back to the minibuses and were on our way to Scafell pike by 10pm.
We arrived at Scafell pike at 3:50am, started climbing in darkness and completed it in just over 4 hours, again difficult weather conditions, drizzle and low visibility.
We arrived at Snowdon in good spirits knowing that we just had one final hurdle ahead of us, we completed it within the 24 hours, it rained heavily for the whole time we were on the mountain, I was very proud of everybody that took part and completed it despite the challenging weather conditions. The hours of training in the gym and Sunday mornings spent climbing Pen y Fan certainly paid off.
We have raised over £2800 for Cardiac Risk in the Young, anybody wishing to donate can do so at www.justgiving.com/HoopsFitness.”
