TWENTY-FIVE employees of Earby-based holiday letting agency cottages4you and Lowestoft-based holiday firm Hoseasons completed the Three Peaks Challenge - and raised more than £1,600 for the Three Peaks Project.

The team took less than 12 hours to cross the summits of the best known hills in the Yorkshire Dales National Park - Penyghent, Ingleborough and Whernside.

The project aims to maintain the popular footpath used by large numbers of people every year.

Nick Rudge, cottages4you managing director, said: “The project is important not only for people and the environment but also in terms of attracting local investment. We’re always delighted to have the opportunity to invest locally and share our passion for the Yorkshire Dales National Park with others."
