Intrepid members of Drivers Jonas' Birmingham office have successfully completed the annual Great St Basils Walk raising around £3,000 for the Midland based charity.

Nine members of the Birmingham team completed the charity's fundraising routes across the Brecon Beacons which included scaling Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak south of Snowdon at some 886m.

Despite a 5am start, rocky pathways, increasing temperatures, blisters growing on top of blisters and the temptation of an en-route beer garden, the Drivers Jonas team persevered throughout the challenge and successfully reached the finish line in order to secure pledged donations for the charity.

Team member Claire Rowley commented: "The Great St Basils Walk was a real test of our team fitness particularly as temperatures on the day reached 24 degrees.  It was a demanding challenge but one which it was great to complete not only surrounded by supportive colleagues but also over 600 other walkers.  Our efforts have helped raise desperately needed funds for St Basils which will go towards preventing youth homelessness in the region."

Drivers Jonas entered two teams into the Great St Basils Walk.  Claire Rowley, Helen Jackson, Siobhan McCrystal, Claudia Clemente and seasoned St Basil's veteran Carwyn Beswick completed a 14 mile route in 7:30 hrs. Matt Williams, Joanne Hooper, Simon Zargar and Fiona Brereton (accompanied by Ros Williams and Tom Milden), completed the 28 mile route in 10:15 hrs.
