Through a variety of rough terrain and weather conditions a team of 11 brave intrepid challengers took on the feat of the Three Peaks Challenge last weekend. Managing to scale the three highest peaks across England, Scotland and Wales in an incredible 23 hrs and 43 mins! This challenge involved climbing each peak in turn, driving from one foot of the mountain to the next. The three peaks climbed were Ben Nevis (4,409ft, Scotland) Scafell Pike (3,209ft, England) and Snowdon (3,560ft, Wales). The team walked a total of 42 kilometres with a total ascent of 9,800 ft.
The City crew have raised a staggering £7,046 so far, which will be split between Ace Africa, Shelter Box and Greenacres Education Trust. We would like to say a huge Asante Sana (thank you) to all involved in this challenge, your support of Ace is truly appreciated and the money raised will go a long way in supporting the growth of our projects in rural Kenya and Tanzania.
