Rescue duo complete Mountain challenge

Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team announce that after 23 hours & 21 minutes, both Jack Swindells and Damian Kilpin have completed the Bob Graham Round challenge!

Covering 66 miles over 42 mountains, and climbing around 27,000ft, the pair have smashed their 24 hour goal and are now having a well earned rest… and a beer.

Throughout the night into the morning, they were able to make good progress which put them ahead of schedule. They battled the rain, pain and tiredness, but were able to push through with the support of family, friends.

“The pair are extremely grateful for the support that everyone has shown. They would like to thank everyone who has donated, and say a big thank you to those who assisted throughout the challenge.” Woodhead MRT

The pair have raised over £3,000 for essential kit for Rescue team volunteers. If you would like to donate please visit: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jackanddamianbobgraham
