A WEST Cumbrian charity will be hosting a mountain hike fundraising challenge.
Hospice at Home will run the Scafell by Sunrise event on Sunday, August 11.
The walk begins while it is still dark at night, with participants aiming to watch the sunrise from the summit of Scafell Pike.
A spokesperson from Hospice at Home West Cumbria said: "Join a fully guided sunrise walk up Scafell Pike, all in aid of Hospice at Home West Cumbria. There really is nothing quite like hiking up a mountain at night.
"From Wasdale, we'll ascend the Brown Tongue path to the summit of the highest mountain in England under darkness, with the aim of reaching the summit just in time to watch the sunrise from the east.
"After enjoying this golden moment we will descend back down via the same route."
All hikers involved are fully guided up to the summit of Scafell Pike by a Lakeland Mountain Guide.
Anyone is able to take part for whatever reason they wish be it in memory of a loved one or as a fitness challenge.
People are able to get sponsorships and raise funds for Hospice at Home.
