STAFF at a Warrington camping shop are to take on a gruelling trek next month – to raise money for St Rocco’s Hospice.
The team from the Adventure in Manchester Road ;plan to do a non-stop marathon length hike over Yorkshire’s three highest peaks.
They aim to complete the trek in less than 12 hours.
Group leader Martyn Padgett, a local scout leader, said: “We have a strong connection to the town and the business has been here for over 20 years.
“Everyone knows the great work St Rocco’s does in Warrington and we, in our own small way, want to help them.
“We hope our customers will support us by sparing any change they have when they come into the shop.
“We can’t wait to get started. Let’s hope it’s a nice day!
The walk will take place on Sunday July 21 and will see the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside scaled by the team.
