Tackling Ben Nevis

This summer Tim and Anthony (both from Dentisan) donned their walking boots and raincoats to climb Scotland’s Ben Nevis Mountain and raised £474 for children’s charity the NSPCC. Tim said the pair started their challenge at 9.15am, on Friday July 18 2014, trekking through heat and rain, climbing gullies and over rocks to reach the much colder summit over three hours later.

Tim said: “It was hard work because as we ascended there were different weather conditions to contend with and some pretty difficult terrain. But reaching the top was a fantastic achievement for us.” The duo’s descent took a further three hours and they were met with a welcome pint of beer back at base camp.

Anthony added: “It was a fantastic challenge for a very worthy cause. We want to thank everyone who supported and sponsored us. We did a lot of preparation at the gym to get into shape for the climb, and that really paid off.”
