We completed the challenge in 20hrs and 26 minutes just missing out on the 20hr target.
Climb rate was good: Ben Nevis 2hrs 20, Scafell Pike 2 hrs, Snowdon 1hr 50. We could have gone faster but one of the team was basically not up to it. He also cost us time descending: BN 1hr 45min, Scafell 1hr 30
I'm hacked off as we know we can do it in 19hrs... next year!

The winning time was 16 hrs! That's 11 hrs driving and 5 hours to climb all 3 mountains. That was a team of female fell-runners who seem to carry a lot less kit than we have to. They were up and down Nevis in 2 hrs... compared to our 4:07!!

Missed the Bobby Cup in Lahndaan but will definitely get up there for a re-match.

Good job you didn't turn up for the inaugural Bobby Memorial Stag Cup 'cos your stamina and fitness would have left us for dead! :-)

Bobby,

I have bugger all stamina and bugger all fitness but once I commit myself to something I'll do it. I was "running on empty" after an hour of climbing but there was no way I was gonna let the team down.

If I'd got to London I'd have made a good impersonation of a dead person. (bit like Screach really! .... can't believe he scored 6!!!)

Funny - I can't believe you scaled the 3 peaks either Geordie. When did they put the chairlifts in?

Anyway - much as it hurts me to say it, "well done!" Actually, after the footy, it hurts me to do anything today. God only knows how the elder members of the team are feeling.
