If you went down to Saddleworth St Chad's on Saturday, you were sure in for a big surprise!
Oldham Mountain Rescue Team were delighted to host a repeat of their Teddy Bear Zip Line, with the support of St Chad's Church.
Over 100 teddy bears, rhinos, squishmallows, giraffes, gorillas and many more zipped down the line throughout the day.
Participants gave a donation and the children sent their teddy bear down the church tower.
With the team formed in 1964, the event was part of the teams 60th anniversary celebrations.
Next up is the team's Open Day at their HQ - more details to follow soon.
Team members said thanks again to all those who came along and made the day a tremendous success.
