Some of our awesome people at Adastral Park have spent the weekend of 8/9 June attempting an epic challenge, with proceeds going to several charitable causes. More than 10 teams from Adastral Park joined the BT Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, aiming to complete a gruelling 24+ mile trek through the Yorkshire Dales National Park.



The annual BT event sees up to 100 teams tackle the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough; these peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble in Yorkshire. Teams aim to complete the route in under 12 hours.



This year saw torrential rain, strong wind and generally tough conditions, with many choosing to take the mini-bus back to the pub early. However, talk of food, riddles and constant singing (several teams joining together for a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody was a highlight!) kept spirits high, and people laughing throughout.



Of the Adastral teams, one even managed to complete in an amazing time of 9 hrs 29 mins! Well done to everyone who took part, and a huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this incredible event possible.
