THREE pensioners from Ross-on-Wye are taking on the Three Peaks Challenge this weekend.

Colin Leggate, Daphne Head and Peter Reynolds hope to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hours starting this Saturday at 5pm.

They will be assisted by friends who will drive them between each mountain.

They are raising money for The Little Princess Trust, The Motor Neurone Disease Association and The Friends of St Mary's Church in Ross.
