Four Flames For Paralympics 2012

The Paralympics flames which will light the Games torch were lit on top of the UK’s four highest mountains as athletes began arriving for the London Games.  Four groups of Scouts trekked up Scagell Pike, England’s highest peak, Slieve Donard in Northern Ireland, Snowdon in Wales and Ben Nevis in Scotland.  The climbers were made up of disabled and non-disabled volunteers. At the summit of each mountain they struck a metal against a rough steel surface to make the necessary spark. video LOCOG
