On Saturday 28 May 2011, five members of the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service Fire Investigation Team will be attempting the 'Three Peaks' Challenge to raise funds for the Daniel Findlay Appeal. Daniel and his family are raising money to pay for a pioneering Cerebral Palsy treatment only available in the USA which could potentially enable him to walk independently for the first time.

D-Day 1
We left HFRS HQ at 08:30 having loaded the minibus. Unfortunately, a problem with one of the minibus windows forced an early pit stop at Alton Fire Station! Having fixed the window, we were on our way. After two stops en route for coffee and diesel it was gone 20:30 and we were still 50 miles from Glencoe and starving hungry. We eventually stopped off at 'God's Chip Shop' on the banks of Loch Lomond for a fish supper, and very nice it was too. It’s been raining ever since we crossed the border into Scotland but even through the mist and rain Scotland is a beautiful part of the world.
We are now only about 16 miles from Glencoe and looking forward to a good night’s sleep!
Let’s hope the weather improves tomorrow.
