Rawtenstall police inspector announces epic charity fundraiser

His team will begin the challenge at first light on 5 April, scaling Mount Jebel Musa in Morocco.

Once they have made it back down the mountain, they will be driven by coach to Tanger Med, where they will take a ferry across the Straits of Gibraltar - where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.

From the Spanish port of Tarifa, they will be driven to Gibraltar.

Mr Jones said they would then begin their ascent of the Rock of Gibraltar "and then we'll all collapse and finish".

The team hopes to raise £6,000 for three charities.

Walking With The Wounded supports veterans with physical, mental or social injuries, while Police Care UK provides practical, emotional, and financial support to police officers and their families.

The third charity to benefit will be the Royal Gibraltar Police Benevolent Fund.
