Three peaks for two pals

Joanne Gregory and Alice Stuart, who both work at Paradigm Precision on Network 65 in Burnley, raised £1,759 in aid of Pendleside Hospice by completing the challenge of climbing Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent in May.

Joanne said: “We wanted to walk the three peaks and thought for extra motivation and to keep us going we would support a local charity. Relatives of mine have used the hospice so I know about the good work they do. Thank you to everyone who supported us."

Alice added: “We had all weathers on the day of our challenge - it rained in the morning and then was sunshine in the afternoon. Despite a few injuries along the way we powered through and finished in 10 hours and 45 minutes."
