<p>We will cover up to 15 summits of over 660m in the breathtaking scenery of the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons National Park.</p>
<p>We will need good navigation and hill skills to meet this challenge. It has all the characteristics of a mountain expedition, crossing peaks and valleys; walkers describing themselves as ‘fit’ take an average of 11 hours to complete it.</p>
</p>
<p>Longtown Mountain Rescue Team is part of Mountain Rescue England and Wales, a voluntary organisation, which is permanently on call from the police to assist in rescue incidents on difficult or inaccessible terrain. </p>
<p>Members of the Team are unpaid and all of the Team’s equipment (vehicles, stretchers, communications equipment, casualty care materials etc.), has to be bought from donations and from funds raised during events such as this.</p>
