A fire safety and security installer has been behind a team to complete the three peaks challenge in 24 hours, and so raising over £12,000 for charity.
The eight, who all grew up together in St Albans, and many whom now work in the fire security and security industry, completed the challenge, in Scotland, Wales and England. The St Albans-based installation company Amthal provided the transport.
Travelling a total of 1,154 miles, the men walked 23 miles and ascended over 3,064m (10,052ft). Starting at Ben Nevis in northern Scotland, next climbed was Scafell Pike in the Lake District, then Snowdon in north Wales.
Jamie Allam, CEO of Amthal, took part. He said afterwards: “This was a massive team effort, but surrounded by my strong family and friends, the banter was great and we kept our spirits up through the walk and the ascents. Seeing the beautiful scenery along the way certainly helped.
“The true icing on the cake is the significant money raised for Prostate Cancer UK. With one of the team members’s step-father battling the horrible disease, it is a charity that is very close to all of our hearts and we know the more we can do together, the better for all of us. We are so grateful for all the donations and support we have received.”
