On February 19, Callum Wills and Mack Southall, accompanied by some amazing staff, took on the challenge of trekking Mam Tor Circular Walk, Elbow Ridge and Black Tor. The weather on the day was poor, but despite the icy and slippery conditions, they completed the challenge and raised an amazing £1,500 which is being donated to Young Minds and Marie Curie charities.
