A team from survey equipment suppliers SCCS will be setting out next weekend (11th June) to climb Britain's three highest peaks. The venture is aimed at raising money for the charity Help for Heroes, which provides help for the wounded in Britain's recent wars.

Bruce Ford, Technical Support at the company explains:
"During this exercise, as well as raising money for this charity, we intend to test Leica Geosystems latest GNSS equipment, a Viva series GPS+Glonass antenna and CS15-controller, dialing in to the SmartNet RTK correction service to measure the GPS heights atop the 3 peaks".

Readers of Geomatics World will be able to hear more of Bruce and his team's exploits in the July/August issue of GW.
