Abbey Logistics technician tackles postponed Three Peaks Challenge for stroke charity

Matthew McCrudden, an HGV Technician based at Abbey Logistic’s Middlewich depot, will be taking on the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales on 18 July, 2020, to raise money for A Stroke of Luck, a stroke charity based in Birkenhead.

Matthew and six others in the group, including a qualified mountain instructor, will begin their challenge by climbing Ben Nevis in the Grampian mountain range. The group will then drive to the Lake District to climb Scafell Pike before travelling to the Snowdonia National Park to scale Welsh giant Snowdon. The aim is to complete the route in under 24 hours.

To put this daunting challenge into perspective, the total walking distance is 23 miles, the total ascent is 3,064 metres (10,052ft) and the total driving distance is 462 miles. 

Whilst the challenge of climbing Britain’s three highest mountains consecutively would put most people off, Matthew and the team will have to manage sleep deprivation and whatever the weather can throw at them to make sure they complete the route in under 24 hours.
