Members from across the Conservatory Outlet Network will attempt to complete the gruelling National Three Peaks challenge later this year in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
The challenge will see participants attempt to scale the three highest mountains of England (Scafell Pike), Scotland (Ben Nevis) and Wales (Snowdon) within 24 hours.
“We have a fantastic team who are taking part in this challenge,” said CEO Greg Kane, who will lead the team, “It shows the strength and camaraderie across the Network that we’ve joined together to take on this monumental task and raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.”
The team, comprising members from Conservatory Outlet’s English and Scottish retailers, will set off from Fort William at 8am on Tuesday, June 13 and first climb Ben Nevis via the Glen Nevis route.
Once completed, the group will head down to and complete an evening ascent of Scafell Pike before driving to Wales to start their climb of Snowdon in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Combined, the group will hike over 23 miles and ascend over 3,000 metres. Out of all those who start the challenge, only around 40% of people complete it within the allotted time period.
“Climbing one mountain is a tough task in its own right, but tackling the biggest peaks in each of England, Scotland and Wales in one day is something else,” Greg added.
“It’ll be as much of a mental challenge as a physical one – but it’s one that we’re all relishing. Training is going well. We’re all looking forward to it.”
