FOLLOWING the success of last year’s Snowdon climb which raised £2,000 sponsorship for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, the Pembrokeshire branch, led by live wire CF patient 23 year old Sophie Pierce, is now setting its sights on the Three Peaks – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.
Sophie, who is the youngest member of the branch, began her fund raising for the Trust three years ago when she climbed Kilimanjaro. She has now drawn up a highly organised plan covering a four day period from Thursday June 2nd to Sunday June 5th.with overnight stays at Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon.
Participants will be driven to Ben Nevis on Thursday June 2nd ready to climb the following morning. (June 3rd) They will then overnight at Scafell Pike, climb there on Saturday June 4th and overnight in Snowdon ready to climb on Sunday June 5th. With the Snowdon climb completed the teams will then be returned home by minibus.
A registration fee of £130 covers accommodation at Youth Hostels for three nights, mountain leader, transport, fundraising support and T-shirts. The climbers are asked to aim for a minimum sponsorship of £250 per person.
For those who would like to tackle Snowdon only entry is £15 (which includes transport) and the requirement is for a minimum of £50 sponsorship.
