A TEAM of parents from Stockton Heath Primary School have completed the national Three Peaks Challenge and raised more than £10,500 for improvements to the school playground.
The group climbed Ben Nevis, in Scotland, Scafell Pike in Yorkshire and Snowdon in Wales within 24 hours.
To do so they had to travel 462 miles by mini-bus, walk 24 miles and climb 10,052
Every member of the party completed the challenge within 24 hours – the first taking 23 hours 20 minutes and the last in 23 hours 57 minutes.
Training for the event started back in February and included climbing Snowdon twice in one day.
The team comprised Paul Jackson, Phil Gilbert, Sally Warbrick, Lee Ferraday, Nick Cumberland, Dan King, Phil Griffiths, Sam Turner, Darren Wood, Rachel Hadfield and Sinead Gorman.
