EX-Man United stars Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs enjoyed pre-match beers before tackling the Three Peaks challenge.
Butt, 47, posted pictures on Instagram showing the group enjoying a pint, joking that Guinness and lager were “maybe not the right fuel”.
Best mate Giggs, 48, sat to the right of the group and kept a low profile under a woolly hat.
The challenge sees hikers walk 26 miles and ascend 9,843ft on Ben Nevis in Scotland, England’s Scafell Pike and Snowdon in Wales.
Last week Giggs posed with fans outside the Railway pub in Hale, Gtr Manchester, near the home he shares with partner Zara Charles, 33.
He faces a retrial over allegations of assault and coercive and controlling behaviour towards his ex Kate Greville, 38.
