Bolton ‘wanderers’ set for 15k charity hike

Staff from Mansell Building Solutions are stepping up to raise vital funds for The Christie Charity through a 15k charity hike.

Trailing through the Peak District’s Hope Valley, the trek, led by Freshwalks, will take place on Friday and is expected to take around five hours.

The 15-strong team of Bolton specialist contractors (some are pictured) will climb from Edale up to Kinder Scout at a max elevation of 633m (2,077 ft), taking in ‘Ringing Roger’, Grindsbrook Clough and Jacob’s Ladder.

Group leader, Steve Green, is a keen walker and a director of the business. He has rallied a range of troops for this charity challenge, comprising staff at all levels, including managing director of the eponymous firm, Angela Mansell.

Steve said: “The Christie is an amazing charity which has touched the lives of many of our staff. 

“We wanted to do something that would challenge people and keep them active, too, and the scenery will provide plenty of photo opportunities, as well.

“Any donations, no matter how small, will enable this wonderful charity to keep doing its amazing work and help so many people in their time of need.”
