Massive congratulations to Robert Watkins, our QSHE Manager, who has officially completed the Montane Spine Race!
The race covers 268 miles of the Pennine Way which would be challenging enough without the accompanying winter weather, huge climbs and very little meaningful rest. Many of us followed Rob’s progress and sent messages of encouragement along the way using the online tracker, it was inspiring to see each checkpoint reached. He crossed the finish line at 15:10 on Saturday 17 January with a time of 151:10:56!
Rob took on this challenge to raise funds for Hestia Charity. They support adults and children through times of crisis and help thousands of people each year move towards a life beyond crisis.
Many Congratulations Rob, for such an inspirational achievement!
