They did it! A group of men have completed their mammoth challenge to cycle 950 miles before taking on the might of Britain’s highest peaks.

Tony Bernard, his son Jacques and nine friends and family members finished the immense journey with a well-deserved beer after reaching the bottom of Snowdon this week.

The group was raising money for the Steve Bernard Foundation in memory of the popular lad and footballer – Tony’s son and Jacques’s brother – who died in a car accident in 2005.

The team rode from Land’s End to John O’Groats with just a few hours rest before taking on the Three Peaks Challenge of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdonia.

Jacques said: “This has been the toughest ever challenge we have all ever undertaken. It’s been mentally and physically demanding with all of us pushing ourselves beyond our limits. All of us are limping around but with the biggest smiles on our faces knowing we have completed this monumental challenge.”

After completing Ben Nevis earlier this week, the team set out at 4.30am on Tuesday to climb Scafell Pike making it up and down in two-and-a-half hours. They then travelled six-hours to Snowdonia where they battled through the clouds and the wind and rain to reach the summit and descend.

Jacques added: “The achievement that the lads had completed finally hit home and they made their way back to the hotel after a long 11 days and enjoyed a beer or two in the seaside town of Bangor.”

The Steve Bernard Foundation has raised thousands of pounds for local sporting projects.
