National Three Peaks LAST SUMMER, MEMBERS FROM ACROSS THE CONSERVATORY OUTLET NETWORK COMPLETED THE GRUELLING NATIONAL THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE IN AID OF MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT.
The National Three Peaks is a demanding challenge that sees participants attempt to scale the three highest mountains of England (Scafell Pike), Scotland (Ben Nevis) and Wales (Snowdon) within twenty-four hours. The group is led by Conservatory Outlet CEO Greg Kane and features participants from Conservatory Outlet’s Premium Retailers. “We had a fantastic team who took part in this challenge,” begins Greg Kane. “It shows the strength and camaraderie across the Network that we’ve joined together to take on this monumental task and raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.” The team, comprising members from Conservatory Outlet’s English and Scottish Premium Retailers, set off from Fort William at 8am on Tuesday 13th June and first climbed Ben Nevis via the Glen Nevis route.
Once completed, the group headed down to and completed an evening ascent of Scafell Pike before driving to Wales to climb Snowdown in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Combined, the group hiked over 23 miles and ascended over 3,000 metres. Out of all those who start the challenge, only around 40% of people complete it within the allotted time period. “Climbing one mountain is a tough task in its own right, but tackling the biggest peaks in each of England, Scotland and Wales in one day was something else,” Greg added.
“It was as much of a mental challenge as a physical one – but it’s one that we all relished and trained hard for.”
