And finally this week, our Chairlady Cheryl Hutchins, with husband Gordon and dog Tolli took on the self navigating Rab Mini Mountain Series on Tintwistle Moor in the Lake District. Snow was found whilst up the hills. Despite fighting with heather (the plant!) and the bogs, all 3 completed in the course in 4 hours 7 minutes!
