THE MAYOR of Oldham is inviting local residents to join her as she tackles a climb Snowdon in aid of charities.
Cllr Elaine Garry’s latest challenge will take place on Sunday, July 17 at Snowdonia National Park when she will climb the highest peak in Wales.
She will be joined by High Altitude Mountaineer Akke Rahman as well as her consorts, Cllr Graham Shuttleworth and Peter Davis, and many others.
The Mayor said: “Snowdon is certainly a challenge but one that takes place in beautiful surroundings.
“I am really grateful to everyone who is joining me on the day or has sponsored the team.
“We hope to raise a lot of money for some good causes that are close to my heart. I just hope the weather stays dry!”
