On Sunday 24th June, Mercia's ladies completed their Olympic challenge to climb 20,000 feet in 12 hours. The challenge was completed as a relay by: Emily Millington, Jane Mapp, Mel Price, Ruth Stafford, Naomi Watson, Debbie Pitt, Stella Denniss, Dianne Spencer, Sharon Davies, Jane Rowlands, Polly Gibb, Christine Lloyd and Pauline Richards.
