In the early hours of Thursday 22nd February a 27-strong team of Countryside Alliance supporters completed the six-day trek to the summit of Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. If you would like to sponsor one or more of them, please click here.

Between them they have raised more than £40,000 for our campaigning work, but there is still time to sponsor them if you haven't already.

This is an amazing achievement by all the trekkers and we are very grateful to them for their hard work and determination.

The diverse age-range of the team (from 18 to 67) and the diverse jobs they do (farmers wives, a GP, a photographer, Hunt Masters, a solicitor, a farrier) proves that there is no such thing as a typical rural person, so please help this group to help us promote and defend the countryside they all love.

This really has been the ultimate challenge in aid of the ultimate cause.
