Brave 2nd Battalion on Arctic Mission for Charity

Lancashire's 2nd Battalion- known as 'The Lions'- will trek across Greenland and discover new mountains.
It's to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis trust, and they will name mountains which have not yet been given official titles. The area in Greenland is called Liverpool land. Some of the mountains are 4,600 feet high!

One mountain will be named after Chorley lad Brandon Beech, 9, who has the Cystic Fibrosis.

I spoke to his dad, an ex Blackpool player, and some of the soldiers at their barracks in Weeton about the expedition. Please explore at the interactive collage to hear more about their exciting adventure...
