"From the muddy parking lot at Ben Nevis to the after party in Snowdon,
it was honestly an absolutely awesome experience with memories I will always cherish
The whole event ran extremely smoothly (apart from the weather) and I would like to say a special thanks to
The Mitchemp Trust volunteers, our individual support teams and the mountain guides (who sat in the cold and
rain for hours to ensure our safety).
Talk about being in touch with the elements. It was really quite astounding to experience such varied
weather conditions over just 24 hours - from torrential rain, strong winds, freezing summits (snow on top
of Ben Nevis) to glorious sunshine. You name it we experienced it! 'Nice weather we're having' and 'think
of five things you'd rather be doing' are quotes that spring to mind whilst ascending Scafel as the heavens
opened and waterproofs lost their battle against the deluge!
Yes, there were times when we really questioned ourselves as to why? Why were we doing this? But once
completed there were no more questions as to why. It was truly an amazing experience from so many perspectives.
I have no regrets what so ever……and would certainly be up for it again!
Our company had enough participants to make up two teams (from all the different divisions). This meant
that the event became a company event, there were the walkers, the support teams and the fundraising team.
We organized quiz and race nights at the local pub; lunchtime runs in Hyde Park; yoga classes; walking
weekends in the Lake District and the Brecon Beacons. As a company we had some great times together,
even before the event took place. I enjoyed the preparations (training, fund-raising) almost as much
as the event itself.
We were also extremely fortunate to have the backing from our senior management, who saw this as a great
team building experience for the company - which it was. So, not only did we raise nearly £15,000 for
The Mitchemp Trust, the whole company worked as one team, instead of separate divisions. It was great
to see everyone working towards a single goal. I also think that the experience highlighted individual
strengths as well as requiring close teamwork. We came together like no other time in our company
history.
It goes without saying the tremendous benefits our company and the vulnerable children
(whom The Mitchemp Trust help each year), will reap as a result of this event.
For me, the 3 Peaks, was an unforgettable experience, which I am very proud of!
I do feel that it definitely brought us closer together as a company"
