We completed the first climb today, the relatively modest 600 and a bit metres of the picturesque Snaefell on the Isle of Man. Of the Isle itself it certainly is a beautiful setting and the weather gave us an equally beautiful start on what made for a lovely start to the challenge! We managed to walk with the other groups for much of the walk, with people from all walks of life and all regions of the UK as well. It started with a gentle bumble along the river and then ramped up with. Very steep climb to finish. With outlet ferry not till 7:45 we even managed to find time for ice cream and more importantly beer at the end of the day. Tomorrow, I think, will prove to be far more challenging with a 5AM start for snowdon in the morning and the the challenge of England's highest, Scafell Pike, in the afternoon/evening!
