A pair of intrepid Burnley pals are preparing to hike to the roof of Africa this summer.

Sheikh Ahmed and Jamatul Khan will trek to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in August raising money for Muslim Hands which helps orphans and underprivileged children in Sub-Saharan Africa access education.

Although keen walkers, climbing to the top of the highest mountain in Africa is something completely new to both men.
