A team of trekkers scaled the tallest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales to help fund a new sensory garden for the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service. Staff from Berkshire-based digital consultancy firm, FSP, raised more than £10,000 for the children’s charity by completing the gruelling National Three Peaks Challenge. The intrepid walkers kicked off their charity quest by climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland on the evening of Thursday, May 9. They then travelled overnight to Scafell Pike in the Lake District with an unexpected road closure adding an extra two hours to their journey along the Scottish coast. On Scafell Pike it was really hard with cramp setting in and everyone was exhausted through lack of sleep.
