DICOM LTD’S THREE PEAK CHALLENGE 2009!!


Dear all

I’d just like to thank you all for such a fantastic time this weekend and all the weekends we have done in preparation. I’ll never forget this time and all the sights we’ve seen, laughs/Ann’s windups!! etc. we’ve had. Everyone has done and been brilliant it has been quite an experience and achievement.

Dawn please thank Brian again he was a star.

Craig please thank Dean for all his encouragement and the use of his stick (I wish I’d got that bounce he’s got!!).

Thanks and well done again guys.

P.S.

What we doing next year?!!!


Well done!!! It’s an amazing achievement and everybody did really well! I’m so proud of each and every one of you.

I’d love to say I enjoyed it but I didn’t one little bit! It was hellish but the end result made it all worthwhile.

Thanks to everyone who took part and it’s safe to say that (for me anyway) it’s a once in a lifetime experience.

Can I just echo what’s already been said but also add this. I couldn’t have done it with seven better people and two better drivers and that is what really made the weekend for me. What a team. What a group of friends. Thanks.

Mick


Thanks to you all for a fantastic weekend!

I can honestly say it’s the hardest/toughest thing I’ve ever done but I wouldn’t have wanted to do it without you guys – what an achievement for all of us.

Thanks for putting up with my windy moments, which were rather frequent I know!!!

I don’t think we’ll ever see each other in the same light again, do you?

Jason & Bryan you were both fantastic, thanks for getting us there & back safely you really were the ones that pulled it out of the bag for us & made it all possible.

This is something that I will never forget, thanks for giving me the opportunity to do something like it & Craig thanks for being my walking buddy.

Lots of Love to each & every one of you,

Dawn

What started out as a bit of fun has turned out to be an incredible experience for me. I’ve learnt a lot this weekend, firstly that a group of people can reach different goals within the same challenge, that being part of a team can enable you to do things that you didn’t realise you could and also that I have a fantastic group of friends who have spurred me on through what has been the hardest, but most definitely the most rewarding 24 hours I have ever had.

Thanks everyone.

What more can be said........?
The week-end was a truly memorable and rewarding experience. Maybe, with hindsight, once the aches, pains and fatigue have worn off, we’ll even look back on it as fun and enjoyable !?!

Wearing my boring business hat, what is clear to me is that the success of the challenge has gone far beyond what was achieved during the week-end. The whole project in terms of planning, preparation and practice has really helped to make a group of individuals gel into a team. Many companies spend £’000’s on organising outward-bound, team-building exercises but we did the whole lot ourselves and, as a result, the benefits are genuine and will be sustainable.
So, huge thanks to everybody for throwing themselves into the adventure with such enthusiasm and commitment – it was a brilliant, brilliant effort by everybody.

Craig


Not sure what I can add to that......

Thank you all for sharing a memorable weekend, thank you for helping me when I was struggling, particularly Leigh in walking down Ben Nevis and providing the horse tranquillisers on Scafell, hope I provided some laughs although it was a bit odd to see pink elephants and dinosaurs on Scafell. Thanks also Stevie for helping me up Snowdon when all I wanted to do was lie down and die peacefully.
Finally thanks to Dawn’s wind providing the turbo to get us between mountains. To be serious thanks Bryan and Jason for making the time up that we needed to achieve our times.

Also a mention to our walking wounded Anne and Mick, you should be proud of yourselves for battling through the pain and being so determined to finish, I honestly do not know how you did it, my achievement pales into insignificance compared to what you must have gone through...incredible.

What an amazing experience, some lows but many more highs, I will never forget it, especially if anyone ever mentions a walk again.

Same again next weekend???

Regards

I can only echo what has already been written, this for me has been one of the hardest yet most rewarding challenges in my life so far. At low points in the challenge (which for me were plentiful ) I never lost sight of the reasons why I took on the challenge, this alone was more than enough to pull me through, but accompanied by a good team and the chance of seeing Steve Lenton in his smalls again, and again, and again was all I needed. On a different note, mentally this for me has made me realise what, with the right mind set you can achieve and for that I would like to say thanks, It really was a truly memorable weekend.
