13 members of the team took part in the walk, while two more drove in support vehicles with food, water and other supplies

The 3rds completed a similar challenge last year, when they completed the three peaks challenge in 23 and a half hours. Though this year's route had more elevation and was a much longer distance.

David Smith, one of the members of the Luctonians 3rds, said: "We wanted to raise money for St Michael's as it's a recognisable local charity that does fantastic work. So many people I know have had a family member go through there.

"Five of us managed to complete it in under five hours. I finished in the first group, we did it in 23 hours and 25 minutes."

The team have so far raised over £6,000 for St Michael's and are still accepting donations.
