Facing the elements atop Snowdon, Hunslet and the Team showcased remarkable resilience and solidarity in their mission to create change. Despite the howling winds and heavy rain, their resolve remained steadfast, shining even more brilliantly. Together, they persevered until they reached 2/3rds of the way, recognizing the danger posed by the relentless 60mph gales.

Their efforts were not in vain. Through sheer perseverance and the support of an incredible community, they’ve raised a remarkable £1138.40 (+£186.23 Gift Aid) for the Railway Benefit Fund and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. This achievement is a testament to the power of collective action and the boundless compassion.

To every donor, supporter, and well-wisher, your generosity knows no bounds. Your contributions have not only fuelled their climb but also fuelled hope for those in need. Together, we’ve proven that even amidst adversity during trying times, kindness prevails.

Thank you,

Hunslet, Soho Depot

Good Afternoon Hunslet fans.

Due to a red-level weather warning caused by storm Ciaran, expected to affect the Yr Wyddfa [Snowdon] area tomorrow, it is with a heavy heart that Hunslet and the team have decided to postpone their hike tomorrow. 

The team are quickly looking at a new date for their hike which will be announced soon.

Stay safe everyone.

The news of snow falling at Snowdon’s summit has sparked a new wave of anticipation within the team! At the heart of Soho Depot, the West Midlands Trains team are charged with excitement as the team organises their equipment and finalise their preparations over great brew and some of Hunslet’s favourite snacks, the Jaffa cake (or is it a biscuit?)  of climbing Snowdon’s formidable Miner’s Track.

Stay tuned for more updates as Hunslet and the team of West Midlands Trains at Soho Depot prepare to scale the heights of Snowdon, as they continue to raise money towards The Birmingham Children’s Hospital and The Railway Benefit Fund. Together, we make a difference, one step at a time.
