Three Peaks Challenge -
Saturday 10th May 2008
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Land Systems 3 Peaks Challenge which took place at Rothbury, Northumberland, on Saturday 10th May 2008. The event was a great success and very well organised by the Birtley team.
It turned out to be a great day with fantastic conditions perfect for walking and taking in the scenery of the Northumberland countryside. This year’s winners and hosts of next year’s event were Radway Green who completed the walk in a very impressive 7 hours and 36 minutes. Well done to John Poole, Adrian Smith, Russell Cooper and Mike Jervis – we’re already looking forward to next year’s walk!
To date £2000 has been banked in sponsorship for charity but if you have any lying around please pay it in as soon as possible as the money will be matched by BAE Systems Land Systems.
