Constructing Excellence in Wales in Ty Hafan Three Peak Challenge
17th June 2010
Constructing Excellence in Wales led the industry in the face of another challenge when Milica Kitson, Eira Rowe, Susan Selkirk and Ellen Jones and their driver, Amanda Evans, completed the Ty Hafan Three Peak Challenge this weekend in a time of 14hrs 14mins – well inside the time of 15 hours they did it in last year.
In a fine example of integrated team work the weekend of June 11/12 found Well Built the intrepid team of four, led by director of operations Eira Rowe, setting a record breaking pace (for them anyway) up and down Snowdon, Cadair Idris and Pen y Fan. The four women and their driver were the only all female team out of around 80 teams taking part in the annual charity fundraising event for Ty Hafan. In the picture you can see them after completing the challenge following a quick drink of champagne at the foot of Pen y Fan. The team were driven from each of the mountains by their fifth member, Amanda Evans – a key part of the extended supply chain.
Susan Selkirk, who along with Eira and Milica completed the challenge last year said:
“This time we knew exactly how to approach the Three Peaks; we spent less time on top of each peak, concentrated on the descent and made sure we ate sensibly whilst driving between each mountain. It was painfully hard work, but good fun and very rewarding.”
Legs were sore on Monday at the office and everyone was very quiet, but fully recovered by Tuesday. It might not have been “climb every mountain”, but the Constructing Excellence in Wales team certainly proved that there “ain’t a mountain high enough” in Wales to keep them from raising funds for Ty Hafan! The teams exertions have managed to raise over £2,000 and there is still a chance to make a donation. So, don’t be shy, contact them on 02920 493322 or email them and ask how it went and donate some money to an excellent cause.
