Well done to everybody who climbed this weekend, and thanks to everybody who went along or helped make the weekend memorable – both at Steak, the British Army and JSMTC Indefatigable at the Nuffield Centre.

Despite heavy rain, low visibility and gale force winds, all the Steakites present reached the summit and also camped at the Nuffield Centre despite the weather, turning down the offer of warm accommodation on the base.

We were hiking (and in my case, falling over) for two charities: one for UK service personnel suffering from psychological disability as a result of their service, Combat Stress, and one working to help children in Afghanistan develop reading skills, the Afghan Reading Project.

Please consider donating to support these charities and our forces via Just Giving.

Our next challenge is the Four Peaks hike next year – you are all invited!
