Climbing Dufton Pike

Trustee Jean Harvey has climbed Dufton Pike in Cumbria’s Eden Valley 20 times to raise funds for Cementing Futures.

Instead of climbing Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro, she decided to climb more than the equivalent of its height of 19,340 ft in this country and was supported in her climb by Soroptimists from Bournemouth and Penrith, their friends and families – aged between 72 and 4 – and three cairn terriers!  They raised the flag of Bangladesh each time they reached the summit.

Jean completed her 20 ascents (nearly 20,000 ft) in six days and has raised over £2,000 (including Gift Aid), all of which will go to the project.
