Snowdon

We arrived at Snowdon at 13:00, giving us only one and a quarter hours to get to the summit if we were to finish within the 24 hours, which was an impossible task.  We still wanted to set as best a time as possible so we left for the Pyg Track straight away.  The weather was kinder to us this time however, after about an hour, the wind picked-up but the visibility was good and the views were fantastic.  The going got a lot tougher when the Pyg Track met the Miners Track.  Eventually, we reached the summit at 15:23 giving us a total time for the Three Peaks of 25 hours and 7 minutes.

We went into the restaurant and Mark treated us to a hot chocolate.  We had a quick photo wearing our ‘Daniel Findlay Appeal’ T-Shirts and holding the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service flag that Mark had carried up.  

We are now sat in the Oakley Arms Hotel with a well-deserved beer, waiting for the girls to arrive so we can order some food!   I must admit that I'm a little disappointed that we didn't finish within the 24 hours.  However, considering the weather was against us and we started Scaffell Pike in the dark, I think we did pretty well to finish in 25:07!
