Climbers aged eight and above successfully scaled Snowdon despite one of the youngest, Oakley Giddings (13), having to manage severe foot pain along the way.

So far more than £4,600 has been raised which will go towards paying for a heart screening for young people.

The charity’s founder Deborah Slator said: “The scenery was breathtaking with hills just rolling into hills, beautiful aqua blue lakes and the small steam train chugging up and down the mountain.” To donate, visit: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/snowdonchallenge2018.
