Winter 2022MysonPages conquers Yorkshire Three Peaks
IT specialist MysonPages has raised over £6,000 for Springhill Hospice after scaling the Yorkshire Three Peaks in terrible weather.
Six members of the MysonPages team and Zen Internet chairman Richard Tang set off to conquer the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, expecting a tough but pleasant hike. Tackling the Three Peaks involves walking 24 miles and climbing 5,200 feet in under 12 hours.
However, the team picked what was probably the worst day this summer to attempt the Yorkshire Three Peaks. The rain started early and didn’t stop; at one point, the walkers were up to their shins in muddy water – and the guides said the weather was in their top five worst conditions.
Managing director David Brereton said:
“The money we’ve raised has been sensational, but the best bit has been seeing how it impacted people in the team, and them recognising their personal achievements. “There’s already an assumption that this won’t be a one-off."
