Legal team completes Welsh Three Peaks challenge A team of adventurous lawyers from a North Wales law firm have completed a gruelling challenge to climb the Welsh Three Peaks in less than 24 hours. The hikers from Lanyon Bowdler conquered Pen y Fan, Cadair Idris and Snowdon – a total ascent of 2,334 metres and a distance of 27.4km –to raise more than £1,000 for two charities. Paul Ellis, finance director at Lanyon Bowdler, said: “It was a great day, and we hope people will continue to recognise the effort everyone made by supporting our charities, ELY Memorial Fund in Herefordshire and Crest here in North Wales.”
