Mr Abley accompanied by two friends, Ian, and John Neville, took on this mammoth task of covering 490 miles between the peaks (Snowdon, Scafel Pike and Ben Nevis) on a tandem and then climbing each one to raise money for two charities close to their hearts. They choose Combat Stress as John is ex-forces and SENSE in memory of Noel Sweeney the founder of the Tara Group who has sadly passed away.
The epic challenge has so far raised over £8,000, which will be divided between the two charities.
“We are always keen to support local businesses with their charity efforts and this one really caught our attention,” said Chris Williams, ETS managing director. “I’ve heard of the three peaks challenge, but I’ve never heard of anyone cycling a tandem between each peak! It was such a mental and physical effort to complete it but they did it. We were more than happy to sponsor the three friends in their efforts. Noel Sweeney was a very charitable man so I was pleased we could support his team with this fundraiser.”
