ROSSENDALE and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team are urging hikers to get involved in a charity walk -- Rossendale Way in a Day.
The 45-mile trek around the Rossendale Valley is an important date on the mountain rescue team's fund-raising calendar.
For those less enthusiastic about walking, the 22-mile Half Way in a Day is also taking place.
In a unique twist to tradition, both routes will follow a clockwise direction, enabling well-seasoned 'half wayers' to experience the opposite end of the trail.
Walkers and runners are welcome and this summer's event which has been scheduled for Saturday, July 3, at the nominal entry fee of £10.
Prizes will be awarded for first place walkers and runners on both distances. The mountain rescue team will be on hand all day providing food and drinks, followed by a slap-up meal on completion of the distance.
Andy Ellis, spokesman for the mountain rescue team, said: "People who remember the good old days, where roaming through glorious countryside on a bright, balmy July day, was a regular occurrence are invited to join us."
