24hrs later...

Update from the summit of Snowdon. Claire and Carrie have made it! The summit of the three highest peaks in the Uk in 24hrs. After a very galiant effort from Craig, summiting the 2 highest peaks in the Uk in 15hrs, his legs gave in on him and he reluctantly resigned from the challenge to give the rest of the team a fighting chance to achieve the summit within the 24hr mark. We've not quite done yet as we have to get down, but we're all really elated to have made it, there was even a swig of champagne each at the top! Again, no summit photo yet due to low cloud, but here's one of Snowdon from below once the cloud had lifted. All weekend we were blessed with wonderful walking weather, and the only drop of rain was in North England while we were in the minibus. Full challenge report and more pictures, including those from the summit of all 3, will be posted once we're home and had some sleep! 26 miles, 2500metre ascents, 3 countries, 3 peaks, and only 3hours sleep will need some recovering from!
