A TEAM from a food hall in Ingleton are to pull on their walking boots to raise cash for the North-West Air Ambulance.
Staff from Country Harvest are taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, of more than 23 miles, on August 21.
The team plans to walk from Horton in Ribblesdale via Whernside, Penyghent and Ingleborough, in 12 hours or less, and will be led by Adrian Leigh, who volunteered to help guide them following an appeal on Facebook.
They include Cassie Harrison, who has previously completed the 42-mile Keswick to Barrow walk, food hall manager Richard Simmonds, butcher George Taylor, his mum Becky and fiancée Harriet, gift hall manager Rebecca Clark, shop worker Janet Faraday and marketing manager Sue Riley.
Country Harvest owner Mike Clark said: “It’s a tremendous effort by everyone concerned and I would have loved to have joined them but someone has to work in the shop that day!
" We are very proud to be raising money for North West Air Ambulance and this challenge should really help boost our donation to them at the end of the year.”
Anyone who wishes to sponsor or donate money can do so in store at Country Harvest on the A65, near Ingleton, or online via Just Giving www.justgiving.com/companyteams/country-harvest
