A WOKINGHAM businessman has vowed “never again” after completing the arduous 24-hour three peaks challenge with just seconds to spare.
Mark Ashwell, CEO of Trademark Windows and President of Wokingham & Emmbrook Football Club, undertook the challenge earlier this week.
Mr Ashwell, his son, Matt, and colleagues from the Conservatory Outlet network scaled the United Kingdom’s three highest peaks– Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon in aid of Macmillan Cancer Research.
Starting in Scotland at 5am on Tuesday morning, Ashwell and his team completed the challenge in Wales early on Wednesday morning.
Speaking to Wokingham Today on Wednesday morning, an exhausted Ashwell said: “Probably the toughest part of the challenge was the descents, and the fact we ended up running at the end to meet the deadline.”
