Lake District 10 Peak Challenge 2016 |
The weather was wet and all the summit tops were covered in mist and fog. Visibility was very poor on the higher altitude. 11 walkers successfully managed to walk the six peaks to Great Gable, and we then walked to the agreed retirement point at Seathwaite. It was a tough walk and everyone made it back safely. FUNDS RAISED: as of 16 September 2016 £1933 for SEWA UK. During this weekend, we will be taking part in the Lake District 10 peak challenge – a step up from the Yorkshire 3 Peaks!
