Every year my friends hook up to compete in our very own challenge event. This year we chose the Lake District as the location. We arranged to do the Via Ferrata Xtreme and Ghyll scrambling. Everything was absolutely brilliant! The events were awesome, timings perfect and the gear provided was spot on. Never thought being cold and wet could actually be so much fun! Keep up the good work. PS - cheers for the photographs!
