On Sunday 11th June, Victoria faced the Cleveland 4 Peak challenge, along with her friends, family and dog Rosie.
Setting off at 8:30am, they left Guisborough Woodland Walkway carpark, wearing their luminous t-shirts. The weather was fair however the wind grew stronger as they reached the first peak: Roseberry Topping.
Sounds too easy? Due to a friends’ pledge condition, the males of the group had to do press-ups every time they reached a peak!
The route to the next peak, Captain Cooks Monument, took the Cleveland Way and resulted in more press-ups. After lunch, the group continued to peak 3: Codhill Heights, chasing Rosie and discovering wild woodland leaves that tasted of apples.
The final stretch was to Highcliff Nab, where the weather took a turn for the worse, but it didn’t dampen their spirits. The group completed the 12.6 mile 4 peak walk on Sunday tired but happy. Rosie was extremely happy to have so much attention from everyone on the walk, and could have kept going…. Next challenge anyone?
A massive thank you to everyone who sponsored the group. They have raised an amazing £1361.89! This really is a great charity doing excellent work to help kids with autism, and everyone is so grateful for all the support that they receive!
