The group of 14 started out on June 25, travelling to Wales to climb Mount Snowdon (1085m) in Wales, before driving over to England to the Lake District to scale Scafell Pike (978m), and then back to Scotland to climb Ben Nevis (1345m).

Through sponsorship and a GoFundMe page they managed to raise £8000 which they have donated to local mental health charity Reach Across. The group undertook the Three Peak Challenge in memory of a friend who died by suicide more than two years ago. (Photo: Wallace Ferrier)
