Changes to Team Members

Our Three Peaks adventure really began at the end of January when we paid the deposits and booked the spaces. It's a shame that, in just two months, two people have had to withdraw from the Squad. First, Des Power in February very soon after we got going. Then, at the end of March, Rob Owen. Rob came to the early meetings, and really got into the whole thing; he was one of the first to get new boots and was spotted a few times on training walks.

On both occasions people eager to rise to the challenge have stepped forward; Chris Feibusch and Chris Kirk respectively. It never ceases to amaze me how many people from such a small school want to get involved with this escapade!

We started as a Squad of 23 and we still are a Squad of 23, from just 90 families with children at the school - 1 in 4 is a remarkable representation.

There's now a little over three months until we begin the climb of Ben Nevis in the early hours of a Saturday morning, with another two mountains to "look forward" to before the next sunrise. We'll all certainly be thinking about Des and Rob then! The question is: will they be thinking about us?!
