and live on Freeview channel 276
The hospice, which supports people in the South Lakes, north Lancashire and parts of North Yorkshire, teamed up with local guided events company Adventure Trails UK to organise the once in a lifetime experience on Saturday June 18.
Collectively the hikers raised more than £3,500, setting off at 5.30pm and arriving back just after midnight! The route took the fundraisers up Whiteside and Lowes Man before climbing Helvellyn to take in the spectacular sunset.
