Mountainous task

JAMIE Christie, Trainee Legal Executive for Wilson Browne’s Court of Protection Team donned his trainers and tackled the Swedish Salomon 27K this summer in aid of the Air Ambulance.

With an altitude gain of 1,150 metres, the route traversed three mountains; Hållfjället, Grofjället and Välliste to the finish line in Trillevallen. Each mountain was steep at one point, too steep to descend on foot requiring a rope to safely arrive at the bottom.

Jamie said: “It was the hardest physical challenge of my life and it lived up to the billing and more. As much as I had prepared my body physically, nothing could have prepared me for the mental challenge that was required to finish the race. There was no simple step as every bit of terrain required concentration and several times I almost lost my trainers due to the thickness of the mud.”

Jamie completed the Salomon 27k in four hours seven minutes and 50 seconds and raised £500 for the Air Ambulance. Jamie said: “It was an incredible experience. I feel extremely privileged to have been able to take part in it whilst raising money for such a worthwhile charity.”
