Mam Tor: Drone footage shows hundreds of illuminated head torches

Drone footage captured the moment hundreds of hikers used their head torches to light up Mam Tor in the Peak District as part of a charity event taking place at two popular peaks simultaneously in the UK.

Hikers created a spectacle on Saturday evening after sunset at famous summits Mam Tor in Derbyshire and Pen y Fan in Powys to raise money for Mountain Rescue England and Wales.

Organiser of the Light up the Mountains event, Keith Jones, said they had raised nearly £11,000 through their JustGiving page.

Andy Simpson from Mountain Rescue England and Wales said: "A sum like that will make a big difference."
