Gruelling climb ends sofa challenge fourth stage

Lindsey Burrow and Amy Garcia reached Holme Moss after a gruelling climb on Thursday.

The pair, who are pulling the BBC Look North red sofa across Yorkshire, hauled the soft furnishing from Meltham, near Huddersfield, to Holme Moss on the county's border with Derbyshire on Thursday.

It marked the fourth day of the 80-mile fundraising challenge, which will be completed on Friday in Wakefield.

Speaking after completing the climb up Holme Moss, which is 1,719 ft (524m) above sea level, Lindsey said: "To get here today was really emotional. It was a lot tougher than I expected, coming up the hill."

She said they were both "so relieved to be here and we've had unbelievable support".

Starting in Meltham at 09:00 GMT, Amy and Lindsey pushed and pulled the sofa through Netherthong, Brockholes and Holmfirth, before they finished at the Holme Moss summit at about 16:00.

Crowds came out in force to cheer them on, including schoolchildren in Meltham and Honley.
