Helping Hands @Beccles Primary Academy 3 Peaks challenge

Two ladies associated to Beccles Primary Academy are going to take on the challenge of climbing all three national three peaks, in three days.

Our aim is to raise £2000 for playground improvements for the Beccles Primary Academy School, which needs updating.

On Thursday 5th June,Hannah and Julie will all travel the 500 miles to Fort William to the start of this mammoth adventure.

Friday, 6th of June marks the beginning of what will be an epic challenge by climbing Ben Nevis. The mighty Ben stands at a majestic 1345 metres and is approximately eight and a half miles and due to the terrain and steepness will take about eight hours to the summit and back.

Once down, the ladies will drive to Scafell Pike, some five and a half hours away.

Saturday, 7th June will see the start of a 978m climb to the summit of Scaffell Pike and a quick descent ready to drive the five hours to Snowdon.

The final summit will be climbed on the Sunday. Mount Snowdon is a whopping 1085m and will take approximately 6-7 hours before a final six hour drive back to Beccles.

Please, give generously as this will certainly be a test of stamina, both mental and physical for us ladies of varying ages and abilities and levels of fitness.
