Members of the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) have completed the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge, including some in their full kit.
On September 7, 14 members of the MAWWFRS, both operational and non-operational staff, took on the challenge of climbing Pen y Fan, Snowdon, and Cader Idris within 24 hours.
The challenge consisted of a total walking distance of 17 miles and an ascent of 2,334 metres, all in aid of raising funds and awareness for the Fire Fighters Charity and Swyn Y Gwynt - Hywel Dda Health Charities.
The whole team completed the challenge in an impressive 17 hours, raising £789 for their chosen charities.
One of the participants, firefighter Josh Herman, went a step further by wearing full firefighting kit and carrying breathing apparatus on his back for the duration.
Mr Herman said: "The challenge was tough mentally and physically, to complete it in under 24 hours was a huge achievement for myself and the other members of the team.
"I would like to thank everyone for their support during the climb, a big thank you to everyone who has donated to a charity that is close to my heart and a massive thank you to my fiancée for her help and encouragement through some mental barriers I faced during the climb.
"I hope by doing this challenge I have raised more awareness for 'Men's Mental Health' and inspired others to start talking and reach out for help when they need it."
