A YORKSHIRE Three Peaks challenge has raised more than £2,000 for Manorlands.

A ten-strong team from accountancy firm Watson Buckle tackled the energy-sapping route – which takes in Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.

And everyone completed the 24-mile route within a 12-hour target time.

The aim was to raise £2,000 for the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice.

But it is hoped the total will reach £2,300 once all sponsorship money has been collected.

Manorlands is the Bradford-based company's chosen charity of the year.

Selina Armitage, the firm's corporate services manager, said: "Everyone who took part in the challenge had a great day for a fantastic cause.

"We're delighted that we all completed the hike within our target time and achieved our fundraising aim."

Managing director Susan Sedgwick added: "I am delighted that the Three Peaks challenge was such a success.

"We are all looking forward to getting involved in more activities to raise money for Manorlands later in the year."
