As i teach apprentices for a living we got a group together to compete in the three peaks charity event. 3 drivers 6 runners we completed the event in 17 hours 27 mins and won the platimum medal and raised about 3 grand for berkshire air ambulance. Wicked time had but had to stay awake for 41 hrs to drive. The wind chill was minus 25 on Ben Nevis

Superb work Big G!! Was that 17.5hours including the driving?! Or did the clock start for each mountain going up then when you got back down?

 

That is a real achievement. I've been up Ben Nevis in July to be greeted with a foot of snow at the top, minimal visibilty and wind chill factor well below zero. You could see the ice forming on our hats! People who haven't done it don't realise just how high it is.

 

Top Notch Sir!

Madness. The law limits the amount of hours I can drive in my truck but anyone in a car can just go do something like that even though they're far less used to long hours than we are.
