A GROUP of businessmen has completed the latest stage of a mountainous challenge in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
The adventurers aim to conquer the 12 highest peaks in the UK and Ireland, tackling one a month.
The group – labelled the walk society – completed its first peak, Skiddaw, in January.
It then took on Cross Fell, in the north Pennines.
Now members have conquered Ill Crag and Broad Crag and a 'bonus' peak – England's highest mountain!
"Due to a combination of only 20-feet visability and our navigation sending us on a magical mystery tour we also scaled Scafell Pike!" said member Rob Lewis, from Steeton, managing director of credit control agency Corporate & Commercial.
"Our treks are always fun but I've got to be honest when I found out we'd done an extra peak by accident, fun was not the first word that came to mind."
The group's next challenge is Helvellyn.
