“I have decided to take on The National Three Peaks Challenge with my friend Michael, over the 13th & 14th May, having not had any previous hiking experience and being scared of heights! I thought this would be a great challenge to do as it would push my mental as well as my physical ability.
The challenge is well known to be graded as extreme and will comprise climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales, all within 24 hours, including the travelling time for 450 miles and covering a hiking distance of approx. 36km and climbing over 3000m.
Training has entailed twice weekly boot camp, weekly running, regular cycling as well as being committed to increasing my hill walking at weekends ,whatever the weather, gradually increasing to a height of over 2000m.
Michael’s sister and youngest brother both served in the army as has, one of my best friends, so we chose the ABF (Army Benevolent Fund) National Charity because of their giving a lifetime of support to serving soldiers, veterans and their immediate families when they are in need.”
“This will be a self-funded trip and we’ll be very grateful for any donations, of which we will also match. I will be personally donating all my salon tips in April & May.
If you wish to support us by way of a credit card donation you can click on this QR code which will take you directly to our JustGiving page, alternatively we are collecting cash donations in salon.
Thank you so very much for your support.”
Sam has sent us a few photos to show where and how she is training for her challenge next month. Over the weekend, Sam and Mike hiked up Mount Snowdon twice, despite the freshly fallen snow. As their challenge is now in less than 4 weeks time, training needed to step up a gear as well as having a good practice to prepare for the terrain and perfect all clothing and equipment.
Good Luck to you both.

Alison our Business Manager is taking on a 1in10 Challenge to raise vital funds for Endometriosis UK! Endometriosis is the name given to the condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body. It is a chronic and often debilitating condition that can a myriad of symptoms as well as also leading to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems
Alison says of the challenge ahead "Whilst 10 minutes of squats a day doesn’t sound too hard for most people, this may well be the hardest challenge I’ve taken on (and I’ve done some crazy things in the past!!). Some days, recently averaging 3-4 days per month, due to debilitating pelvic and/or back pain, I can’t even get out of bed. I suffer with pain almost every day making even doing the simplest of things, such as driving/walking difficult and has led to me cancelling so much of my regular life. I try to remain positive and have a good support network with friends & family and recently have joined forums where speaking online with other endometriosis warriors around the world, has really helped. I’m currently waiting for my 4th surgical procedure in the 10years (that I’ve known about) since I’ve been suffering with this condition and with Covid having caused even further delay, can only manage literally day by day
Any support/donations you can kindly make means that future girls & women hopefully won’t have to wait so long for diagnosis and that treatment is offered quicker; therefore less impactful on their lives. Thank you in advance 🙏🏼🌼💛”
