VINCI Building team climb highest mountain in Wales

2nd November 2023

A team of six from VINCI Building's North West Business Unit undertook their annual SOMAD challenge recently by climbing the highest mountain in Wales, Yr Wyddfa (Snowden), twice over 2 days and two different routes – the Pyg Track and Miners' Track.

Having previously completed Yr Wyddfa (Snowden) 9 years earlier as part of the 3 Peaks Challenge, the team successfully completed it. Both days were very contrasting with the first day bringing clear skies and sunshine and the second day torrential rain.

The team have raised £3,250 for Claire House Children's Hospice who provided exceptional support to one of the team and his family last year with Claire House providing exceptional support and offering therapy during the difficult times.

The team would like to thank all their friends, family, work colleagues and supply chain partners for their support and donations to this fantastic charity. It is greatly appreciated.

This was the team's 9th consecutive SOMAD challenge and have raised over £25,000 for various caused over the last 9 years. Next year the team are planning a special challenge to mark their 10th anniversary of SOMAD challenges.
