A group of Lewes Firefighters are taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity.
Beginning on 4th June 2025, Red Watch will attempt to climb the highest mountains of England, Scotland and Wales – all within just 24 hours. The three peaks are:
- Ben Nevis / Beinn Nibheis (1,345 m or 4,413 ft), the highest mountain in Scotland
- Scafell Pike (978 m or 3,209 ft), the highest mountain in England
- Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa (1,085 m or 3,560 ft), the highest mountain in Wales
