THREE Herefordshire men with autism have scaled Wales’ highest mountain and raised more than £450.

Peter Woodcock, 21, Sam Peers, 24, and Nicholas Bartlett, 26, climbed Snowdon in aid of Lammas Lodge Care Home in Lugwardine where they live.

Four support workers – Eamon Cuggy, Nicola Chapman, Mike Hoskins and Jolanta Pleskacz – joined them on the fiveand- a-half hour expedition.

Home manager Karen Palmer said it was a fantastic achievement in awful weather, adding she was proud of the group.

The money will be used to refurbish the sensory room and provide activities.
