A year-long charity challenge has reached new heights of success for Scott Baron from Nimans who is walking tall after climbing the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales – straight after each other.
Scott recently completed The National Three Peaks challenge – often in complete darkness – as part of his ‘Dirty Dozen’ charity extravaganza running throughout this year.
Scott and several friends scaled the highest mountains of England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours; Ben Nevis Scafell Pike and Snowdon.
Scott is a Unify Business Manager at communications specialist Nimans and has devised a series of 12 gruelling charity challenges such as cycling around Anglesey, a 10km army obstacle course and the Three Peaks mountain adventure challenge. Scott’s epic challenge began in January with a 34 mile walk from Liverpool FC to Manchester United which took 11 hours.
“I’ve always wanted to do something for charity and I’m not one to do things by half. So this year I decided to push myself and lots of different friends to the limit,” he explained. “It’s been an amazing experience and we’re almost there with just three more to go!”
With no sleep in 48hrs after a full day’s work, Scott and his friends walked a total of 26 miles which spanned an elevation of 11,181ft to complete the mountain challenge – climbing the two largest in total darkness and poor visibility. They raised hundreds of pounds for the Beating Bowel Cancer and Blue Apple Heroes charities. One of his group included Andrew Hill, who has battled Bowel Cancer himself in recent years.
