Cliff's coastal trek raises vital funds for mountain rescue service

KEEN walker Cliff Grimshaw put his best foot forward - and raised £200 for Edale Mountain Rescue Team.

Cliff, aged 64, from Barnsley, raised the equivalent of 1 for every mile he walked when he trekked from Middlesbrough to Redcar and then down the coast to Bridlington.

He handed the cash to Edale Mountain Rescue team member Judith Sanger.

STAFF from Abbeydale Brewery presented a cheque to members of Edale Mountain Rescue Team from the proceeds of a speciality beer aptly named Salvation.

Pat Morton from the brewery presented team chairman, Rob Small, with a cheque for 468.

The beer was launched by Sheffield mountaineer and writer Joe Simpson at the brewery's Rising Sun pub in Nether Green, Sheffield.
