Sponsored by employers Ian and Anne Inglis, from the Summers Road office, Katy, age 29 from Woodside Way, Reading, trekked through plummeting temperatures to the snowy summit as part of a group of 150 people from across the UK. Katy Cresswell said: “It was harder than I thought it would be, as we were cold and wet and it was very dark apart from your head torch, but it was definitely worth it.
