Peak performers

Soldiers and civilians based in the South Atlantic dug deep in aid of good causes.

They took on a punishing endurance race across key battlegrounds of the 1982 Falklands War.

The annual Three Peaks Challenge sees teams and individuals complete a 12-mile route against the clock, scaling Mount Longdon, Tumbledown and Two Sisters along the way.

Among the competitors in this year’s event were the current Roulement Infantry Company – 1st Battalion, The Royal Irish Regiment – with one of their squads missing out on the top spot by a matter of seconds.

Team honours went to organisers, the Falkland Islands Defence Force, while the fastest individual runner crossed the finish line in an impressive 1hr 35min.
