Hellooo!

Over the weekend, along with a group of people from my church, I attempted to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales for a charity called UnseenUK that works with victims of human trafficking in this country. We raised quite a bit of money, I had a great time, perhaps some others less so due to injuries but everyone gave it everything, and the effort from a couple people to get to the finish was incredible ...

Spent the Friday driving up to Scotland to start at Ben Nevis, stayed in Fort William which is right by this loch, that I took a picture of whilst Colin bought battered Mars bars:

A bit behind our ideal schedule, it was darkening as we climbed Scafell, and definitely dark as we descended - head torches on, most of us, anyway:

And we started Snowdon at 6am, in amongst the clouds nearly all the way from the start:

The views at the top of Snowdon are amazing ... but we couldn't see anything but a dense cloud for about the last half a mile:

Yours, partially agreeing with Tim's conclusion that Marvin Gaye didn't know what he was talking about,

Thanks. The last one is the top surface of the Trig Point, or Triangulation Station: http://en.wikipedia.or​g/wiki/Triangulation_s​tation (external link)

Cheers. We didn't manage it in 24 hours, but for a mixed ability group that's a tough ask, and we're hoping to go back next year with a more focussed effort on that goal ...
