Look North sofa takes on the Peak District

The BBC Look North red sofa has crested one of the highest points in South Yorkshire on the third day of the Children in Need challenge.

Presenter Amy Garcia and fundraiser Lindsey Burrow have pulled the sofa up Back Tor in the Peak District.

One of the most difficult stretches of the week-long route will see them conquer Jenkin Hill, which was a climb in the 2014 Tour de France, as they arrive in Sheffield.

Garcia joked they were "still smiling, just about", but "at the point of delirium" before finishing the leg in Burngreave and Wincobank on Wednesday evening.

Burrow, the widow of Leeds Rhinos rugby league legend Rob, admitted the route into the Peaks was "particularly challenging".

"The boulders were making it really difficult to get the sofa up, and I think it's the realisation that we've got to go back now as well."

Garcia said the stunning views helped.

"It's gorgeous up here, it's so beautiful this part of the world, but it's hilly and we're feeling it in the legs, the arms and the shoulders."

The pair were supported in their climb with the help of members of the Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team, including Ian Winterburn.

He said: "I have to say the ladies have done amazingly well. That's such a tough route to get the sofa up. For the rescue team it's average sort of terrain but for these guys with the sofa, it's really rough."

Before tackling the testing hill in Wincobank at the end of the day, the sofa will first stop at Reach Up Youth in Burngreave, a charity which supports young people with mental health issues.

They are back on the road on Thursday, when the route will take the sofa from Meltham to Holme Moss via Holmfirth.

The pair then hoping to complete their 80-mile (129km) trek through the region on Friday 13 November, when Look North will be broadcast live from Wakefield Trinity's ground at the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
