Thanks to his supporters, Aspire Charity and Hurst Life readers, Ian Maskell was able to purchase a Mountain Trike and have it delivered a couple of weeks before the Covid-19 lockdown. The Mountain Trike is an essential piece of kit that will help Ian and his team of 15 - called Maskell’s Muscles - get to the top of Snowdon. The Snowdon Push is held every year for disabled people to get to the top of the highest mountain in Wales and to raise money for the charity BackUp. This year’s Snowdon Push would have been held on 4th July. Like so many events it has been pushed forward to next summer. However, to mark the date of this year’s event, Ian, in his new shiny trike, and a few of the team met up at Firle on the South Downs to battle their way through rain and wind to the top of Firle Beacon. Ian said: “For a first trip out with an inexperienced team, things went reasonably well. There are a few improvements and modifications that will be necessary to the trike and the team to ensure we get to the top of Snowdon next year!” You can follow Ian’s progress and training off-road in his Mountain Trike for The Snowdon Push 2021 on Instagram (@maskells_muscles).
