Selling Britain's highest pub and the stubborn seal pup...

OMM competitors have raised thousands for mountain rescue...

Competitors at this year's Original Mountain Marathon have raised huge sums for Lake District mountain rescue teams.

The OMM has set up a fundraising page on the Just Giving website. It aims to raise £10,000 for the teams who were called out during the recent event, which experienced torrential rain and flooding.

So far they have raised almost £7,500, including one contribution of £500 from someone who was rescued and has decided to donate all the money they had saved for a long skiing weekend in January.

Organisers of the OMM will also donate the £5,000 that would have been awarded in prize money had the event not been cancelled.

Organiser Jen Longbottom told The Sun: "There has been a lot of publicity about how much it cost for the rescue, so that’s why we set up the site as a way for participants to make donations.

"We always make a donation every year to the voluntary teams anyway."

Britain's highest pub is on sale because it's too busy!

Fancy taking over Britain's highest pub? It'll cost you more than £1 million!

The popular Tan Hill Inn, at 1,732ft in the Yorkshire Dales, is up for grabs because the owners want to live the quiet life.

Owner Tracy Daly tried to do just that three years ago when she took over the Swaledale pub, but since then takings have almost trebled.

She says someone a little bit younger would be best suited to the job.

Campaigners want live firing stopped on Dartmoor

The Campaign for National Parks says it's 'dismayed' at Ministry of Defence plans for long term military training on Dartmoor.

The MoD has a licence to train on large sections of the park until 2012. But now it wants to renew that licence.

Campaigners say live firing has a damaging effect on the surrounding wildlife.

Head of policy at the CNP, Ruth Chambers, told the Okehampton Times Gazette: "In our view, the competing national interests of protecting Dartmoor’s wildlife and enabling our armed forces to train ready for battle need to be looked at in an independent arena, rather than accepting the MoD’s assertion that training must continue at the same level, which it is bound to claim."

More than 7,000 people are protesting against proposed New Forest changes

There's no loosening of the harness as far as protests against New Forest plans to change park rules are concerned.

Campaigners, some with their dogs and others on horseback, presented a petition with 7,300 signatures to the park authority.

The protesters are furious at plans to make some car parks dog free and to make horse owners require planning permission to keep their animals for recreational use.

Organiser Tina Cant told the Salisbury Journal: "Hopefully it will have made the NPA more aware of how many people are against their plans.

"The formal presentation will be to Dr Julian Lewis MP, who will then take the entire bundle to Westminster for us and present it to Parliament.”

A £2.6 million pipeline project was put on hold... because of a seal pup!

A new born seal pup has stopped engineers in their tracks.

They were about to start laying a water pipeline on the north coast of Sutherland, in the Scottish Highlands, when they found the seal pup, which had just been born on the route.

The team put the £2.6 million project on hold and, after a few days, the seal pup and its mother moved away from the site in their own time.
