The Ben Macdui Expedition.
This year Simon, Graham and Andy are back with a new member Iain to climb Ben Macdui. Its Britain’s second highest peak, and unlike Ben Nevis, Macdui is situated in the centre of a vast wilderness.
They will be approaching the mountain from the south, this route is 18 miles along a remote walk that leads up to an exposed, arctic like plateau which experiences savage weather conditions. Ascending to 1382 metres we are hoping to complete the climb in 18 hours, this certainly is a far greater challenge than last years climb up Ben Nevis. Simon, Graham and Andy would like to say a massive thank you to all that sponsored them last year, they were shocked by the amount they actually raised. THANK YOU.
The Expedition is due to take place on 14th June 2012 and all proceeds going to the Douglas Macmillian Hospice in loving memory of Keith Bettany.
