On Saturday 7th June 2009 the annual, 22-mile Welsh 1,000m Peaks Snowdonia Fell Race had to be abandoned due to extreme weather conditions. The race involves teams of runners and mountaineers from clubs and the armed services. Mountain rescue teams and the RAF had to airlift eight people to hospital and another 25 people were helped to safety. Two people remained unaccounted for some time but they were finally located late on Saturday. As for James and his team attempting the 15 peaks challenge...well nothing quite as dramatic - they got to the forth peak before they were advised to call it a day and made it back half frozen but otherwise unharmed Well done guys - everyone wishes you the best of luck for attempt number 2 next year... ![]()
