FIVE workers from a Radcliffe firm are going up in the world - literally!

The fearless five, who work at Ashworth Frazer, will attempt to climb Ben More on the Isle of Mull tomorrow (June 6).

Ged Hunter, Dave Greenwood, Nick Foster, Shaun Layton and Shane Wolstencroft are hoping to raise £1,000 in sponsorship for the charity WaterAid, which helps improve the water supply in developing countries.

Tomorrow's climb will be one of dozens taking place as part of WaterAid's Munro Challenge. For the uninitiated, a Munro is a Scottish mountain higher than 3,000ft.

The charity is hoping to earn itself a place in the Guinness Book of Records by having a team of climbers on every Munro in the country.
