“I know the Three Peaks is a tough and challenging hike and for quite a number of walkers it was a totally new experience, but one I’m sure everyone got a lot out of.
Once the boots were off and that first pint outside the pub was downed I’m sure everyone felt it was a great day and well worth the tired feet”
