Snowdon

If it hadn't been for our support team and Jules encouragement we would never have done it. The girls made up the 45 mins we lost on Scafell on the drive to Wales. We managed about an hours sleep on the way and we arrived at Pen-Y-Pass with 5 hours to do Snowdon.
The training we had done a few months ago really helped here. We knew the route and we knew we could do it in the time. We deicided to try and go as a team and went up the Pyg Track.
Progress was steady and we took our time due to fatigue. When it got to the steeper bits we all went at our own speed and once we had got to the top we decided to decend however we felt best.
It was a long walk back, we went down Miners as this was easier and it felt very emotional finishing, crossing the line, being applauded by all the other teams and supporters doing the Three Peaks that weekend.
