Manx Team in Six Peaks Challenge

by isleofman.com 6th July 2012

As if climbing the highest peaks in six countries wasn’t enough to wear you out, an intrepid team of three Island walkers will be trying to do it in a single weekend.

Gail Green, Nigel Maddocks and Charles Douthwaite have set out today (Fri) to take on the Six Peaks Challenge to raise cash for WaterAid, a charity which provides safe clean water and sanitation for the world’s poorest people.
