Harrogate estate agents take on The Three Peaks to raise over £5,000 for charity
The team behind Harrogate estate agents Feather Smailes Scales has raised more than £5,000 for charity by taking on The Yorkshire Three Peaks.
In total, 13 staff took on the mammoth challenge, which covers 24 miles and 1,585 metres of ascent on Friday, April 8.
FSS Property chose to support Maggie’s Cancer Charity with the hike. Maggie’s has centres across the UK where people with cancer and their families can access support.
Daniel Brumfitt, a partner at FSS, said:
“Maggie’s Cancer Charity is an organisation close to the team's hearts. So many of us have seen loved ones lose the dreadful battle of fighting cancer.
"Our Just Giving campaign hopes to give back something to a group that does such fantastic work. The least we could do was hike the beautiful Yorkshire Three Peaks!
"Reaching the top of Ingleborough is a fantastic feeling; the view over the moors is even more breathtaking than the hike itself.
"Everyone finished in good spirits without any injuries, aside from a few blisters and some sore legs!”
Three Peaks Challenge
The iconic hike is recognised as one of the UK's best walks. It is often chosen for charity hikes for its difficulty level and stunning views of the North Yorkshire Moors.
It takes in the peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen y Ghent with stunning views of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales skyline.
Everything went to plan on the day the team at FSS put on their walking boots.
They aimed for 12 hours and managed to complete it well under that, punching in a cool 10 hours and 30 minutes.

FSS are one of the area's only comprehensive estate agents and know the Harrogate district like the back of their hands. So the community where they are based is key.
