On 7th May 2009, Mike McDonnell-Brookes took on the 3 Peaks Challenge in aid of the PKD Charity and lived to tell the tale!
The trip was full of unexpected changes, hazards, poor weather and smelly wet clothes, but Mike completed the event in one piece and has raised a staggering £1,000 for the charity, which he expects to rise to £2,000.
Mike and his team completed the event in 23 hours 51 minutes and 40 seconds, but had to stop just short of the Ben Nevis summit (about 55 metres) as they were caught in a blizzard with gale force winds that caused a 'white out'.
Mike has shared his story and the photo below gives an idea of just how hard the challenge was, and how bad the conditions were. See our YouTube channel for videos of his endeavour.
