STAFF from a holiday cottage firm have completed the Three Peaks Challenge – raising more than £1,600 for the Three Peaks Project.
Employees of Cottages4you and Hoseasons completed the walk, which took them across the summits of the best known hills in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, in less than 12 hours.
The proceeds raised by the team have been donated to the Three Peaks Project, an initiative aimed at maintaining the popular footpath used by large numbers of people every year.
Nick Rudge, cottages4you managing director, said: “Completing the Three Peaks Challenge is part of our ongoing commitment to enhance our employees’ and our customers’ lives by improving the environment. The footpath is very popular with locals and holidaymakers alike and funds raised for the project will go towards improving and maintaining the network of paths.
“The Three Peaks Project is important not only for people and the environment but also in terms of attracting local investment. We’re always delighted to have the opportunity to invest locally and share our passion for the Yorkshire Dales National Park with others."
