Climbing Snowdon - We did it!

Hi All, I'm very glad to report that following Lucas and Imogen's amazing climb, yesterday another 13 Milele volunteers have made it to the summit of Snowdon!

We walked 14.8 km and took a little over 6.5 hours including breaks for eating food and taking photos. Luckily the rain held off but the wind was very strong with 50 MPH gusts at the summit.

Our route took us through 14km of absolutely beautiful terrain  slowly climbing to the maximum height of 1085m. There were lots of pretty tricky spots which caused a bit of trouble but we managed to support everyone to make it right to the top!

Huge thanks to all of the volunteers for their amazing hard work climbing and fundraising!

We'll be collecting sponsorship money over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for the grand total but it's not too late to donate! Please head over to our donations page to give big or small and help us support some amazing children to do some amazing things.

Thanks,

Rich

Climbing Snowdon

Hi All, We have a group of good friends who we met many years ago whilst doing youth work in Leicestershire. Over time we have been scattered across the UK for university and work but we still meet up when we find an elusive time when we are all free. After we have finished catching up and eating dinner we get onto the topic of Milele. Over the years we have discussed many of the big issues, talked about the direction of Milele and ran a few fundraisers. (See the CPR Marathon)

Last time we met up, someone (who will remain nameless) thought it would be a good idea to suggest a new idea for a fundraiser... Climbing Snowdon!

The bright spark who suggested the idea is a bit of a mountain goat but the rest of us are really inexperienced with this kind of thing. In addition Amy is somewhat terrified of heights and Chloe has a habit of dislocating her limbs both of which might create a few challenges!

We have a donations page and any contributions would be greatly appreciated! Anything you donate will go towards helping us support an amazing young girl through an incredibly hard part of her life.

We will be climbing on the 6th of June so providing I haven't fallen off I'll post some photos from the top afterwards.
