A group of people in Cumbria are putting their bodies to the test all in the name of charity.

A team from Blueprint Subsea, a business based in Ulverston, are tackling three physical and gruelling challenges across the year to raise money for St Mary's Hospice and Keswick Mountain Rescue.

On Saturday, they battled the weather to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge - the first obstacle standing in their way.

A spokesperson from Blueprint Subsea said: "We climbed three mountains, covered 24 miles, and did it all in under 12 hours - despite battling classic British springtime conditions: 50mph gusts and relentless sideways rain.

"A massive shout-out goes to the team at Adventure.Outside for guiding us through this epic day, they helped us tackle every peak and kept our morale high."

The business specialises in imaging sonars, acoustic positioning beacons and diver navigation systems.

The trip to Yorkshire will be followed to a more local challenge as they take to Coniston Water.

On July 12, the group will take part in a 5.5 mile long paddleboard challenge before the 'grand finale' on August 16.

They will be aiming to beat the National Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours, with the initial two fundraisers acting as the appetiser to the biggest test of the lot.

"With a walking distance of 23 miles - or 37km - and a total ascent of 3064 metres, this challenge is twice the ascent of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, over a similar distance, with a total driving distance between the peaks of 462 miles," the spokesman said.

"We have to thank everyone who has donated so far - every penny will be matched by Blueprint Subsea and split equally between the two incredible charities."

At the time of writing, the team had already surpassed its original target of £1,000, with the hope now that they can continue to push on to help two important causes.
