TROWBRIDGE estate agent Justin Davies has set himself a tall order to raise money for charity by climbing the highest mountain in Africa.

Mr Davies, one half of Davies & Davies, will be climbing the 19,500ft Kilimanjaro in September in aid of homeless charity Julian House.

Mr Davies, who is set to climb the mountain with 12 other local businessmen, said: "It seemed an excellent opportunity to climb Kilimanjaro which is something I have wanted to do since living in Kenya as a boy and also raise funds for a worthwhile cause."

Organisers, HPH Commercial Property said it is looking to raise £19,500 from the challenge.
