Team Klondyke, a group of intrepid garden centre managers and head office staff have been putting on their walking boots and to take on the challenge of climbing the three tallest peaks in the UK.
They aim to raise funds for Cancer Research UK, the Greenfingers Charity and the Multiple System Atrophy Trust.
The first mountain climbed was Snowden on 3 April, when the snowy conditions made the climb extremely challenging.
This was followed by Scafell Pike on 16 May in glorious sunshine (see cover page). The final ascent will be up Ben Nevis on 13 June – possibly in the rain…
The challenge has been organised by garden centre managers who wanted to raise funds and increase awareness of causes very close to their hearts
.
The team has set a target of £10,000 to be shared between the three charities. To make a donation, go to Klondyke’s fundraising page.
