A group recently undertook the “Four Peaks Challenge” which involves climbing the four highest peaks in the United Kingdom within a 36 hour time period. Their event clearly impressed those who sponsored them, as they raised a fantastic total of £4100! What is even more impressive is that they actually climbed five by mistake, but still hit the deadline!

The group have sent us some pictures highlighting their adventures.

	At the base of Slieve Donnard, Northern Ireland – From left to right Gareth, Paul, Richard, Keith, Mark. We started here at 12pm on Thursday 15 June.
	Top of Slieve Donnard – still feeling relatively fresh! (15/06/2006 13:12:47 )
	Top of Snowdon, Wales – the picture was taken with a self-timer with flash giving a bizarre shot across the top of the trig beacon in the foreground. (15/6/2006 23:09:46)
	Top of Scafell Pike, England after our infamous detour from High Raise. We managed to smile but were pretty exhausted by now! (16/06/2006 10:00:46)
	Top of Ben Nevis, Scotland. Freezing cold (snow on the ground) but almost at the end. (16/06/2006 20:44:21) We managed to half walk/half run to the base to finish well within the 36 hour time period. Completion at base 22:43

In Richard’s own words... “We are so thankful for the opportunity to serve CFL in this way. The Challenge was indeed challenging, especially with the accidental fifth peak! But we know that the pain was worth it and trust the donation will be used for the strengthening of the work at CFL and to the glory of our Lord!”
