Final Goodbyes

While we were completing the Challenge it was fantastic watching others finishing and experiencing the same emotions as us - we made many friends over the 24 hours.
Claire and Mandy provided tea and refreshments - Mandy even climbing Snowdon herself and encouraged us all on!
Something akin to rigor mortis set in after a very short period - we sat down for drinks and while the girls got the cars for the journey back four middle aged guys were acting like geriatrics walking around like John Wayne on a bad day!
We changed in the car park and sorted out kit and then drove to Betws-y-Coed and had a meal and a celebratory drink.
Tiredness set in and the journey back was a quiet one but with a great sense of acomplishment.
