Form 6's Three Peaks

Climbing Yorkshire’s ‘Three Peaks’ in one day may seem to some  like an unattractive prize for finishing Common Entrance, but Form 6 were well up to the challenge on Friday 6^th. After a 7am departure, they had conquered Whernside by 10am- just as the days tropical temperatures were rolling in.  Neither heat-waves, nor twisted ankles, steep climbs nor Ingleborough managed to stop the group from summiting Pen-Y-Ghent at 5pm, and completing the challenge 11 hours and 43 minutes after having set off. Their greatest achievement was working so well as a team: each helping to make sure that everyone completed all Three Peaks, and doing so in such good time. Congratulations to all of those involved. Our thanks must also go to the wonderful support-team of parents who braved the climbs and early start, and provided such tremendous food to fuel both the muscles and morale of the victorious group.
