Members of a Huntingdon fitness group have scaled the heights to raise thousands of pounds for charity. 

A team of 11 members of SR Fitness Club, along with their coach Scott Rogers, climbed Ben Nevis and managed to raise £4,000 the Cancer Research charity.

The team members said the charity was very close to everyone's hearts and they were very grateful to all those who donated.

Coach Scott Rogers said: "We laughed, joked and sung our way to the top and we all achieved something incredible and something to remember forever.

"Hand on heart, I’m honestly so proud of the team."

Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in Scotland, the United Kingdom and the British Isles. The summit is 4,411 feet (1,345 above sea level) and is the highest land in any direction for 459 miles (739 kilometres).

Ben Nevis stands at the western end of the Grampian Mountains in the Highland region of Lochaber, close to the town of Fort William.

The mountain is a popular destination, attracting an estimated 130,000 ascents a year, around three-quarters of which use the Mountain Track from Glen Nevis.
