Challenge climbers scale the wrong mountain

A team of climbers failed the British Three Peaks Challenge after they scaled the wrong mountain.

Team Wayne - comprising of Kevin Midgeley, Carl Wright, James Bowyer, Damien Davis, Kev Giles and Mike Murray - attempted to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours.

However their plan was foiled from the start when they scaled the Highland peak of Stob Ban instead of Ben Nevis.

Damien said: "We had a gut feeling we might have taken a wrong turn but from ground level those mountains all look about the same height."

Afterwards, half the team became injured and two more got lost when attempting to conquer Scafell Pike.

But although they decided to miss out on Mount Snowdon in Wales altogether, they still managed to raise £16,400 for a leukaemia charity in memory of their pal Wayne Wilson who died of the disease in January.
