WORKERS from Purac, the Kidderminster-based waste-water treatment specialist, took to the mountains to raise money for WaterAid - the charity that provides deprived areas in the developing world with water.

They took part in this year's WaterAid Munro Challenge to put at least one team on to every mountain more than 3,000 feet high in Scotland, Wales, England, Eire and Northern Ireland.

Purac, George Leslie's, Bullens and Biwater jointly entered teams to climb Scottish mountains.

They raised more than £2,000.

One of the walkers, Gary Hooper, said: "Everyone had a good day, coming down tired but with a great sense of achievement. Everywhere you went, there was people in WaterAid t-shirts."

WaterAid is waiting to see if its has achieved an entry in the Guinness book of records for the event.
