In 2006 Iain and some of his friends decided that climbing the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales would be a pleasant way to pass an otherwise boring weekend.
Climbing gets in the way of photography so that was confined to rest places. Above is the team about to begin their climb. Ian and most of the team managed to scale all three peaks within the 24 hour target, raising loadsa money for charity.
