Pub Hurdles To Climb Three Peaks
Posted on 9th November 2009
The team comprising of the Everards pub landlord Glenn Hill and friends Tim Prior, Steve Pulley and Ian Burnham ascended the three highest peaks in Yorkshire, Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, in 10 hours and five minutes covering a total of 25 miles.
Glenn said: “We’re really pleased with what we achieved, completing the course in under the 12 hour limit was our aim and we succeeded while raising money for a really worthy cause.
“We take part in regular fundraising challenges and last year we completed a triathlon in Scotland. It’s fun and rewarding to do something active which really puts us to the test.”
WheelPower is the national charity for wheelchair sport and helps people with disabilities achieve their sporting dreams.
Its ‘Wheel Appeal’ aims to raise £6 million to provide more than 2,000 disabled children and young adults with new sports wheelchairs, training and coaching in time for the British Paralympics 2012.
The Hurdler Inn on Cross Road is a traditional pub offering a number of cask ales and weekly Saturday entertainment including darts, dominoes and cribs. The pub keeps up its involvement with sport by sponsoring two local football teams and the Stamford College Old Boys rugby club.
