Leaving behind the warmth and safety of their office in Surrey were Emma, Emily, Ruth and Sarah who braved fierce winds, lashing rain and freezing temperatures as they trekked to the 3,560ft summit to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

The Bridge venue offers a relaxed bistro dining experience during the day and in the evenings is host to a varied line up of events and performances.
