PEOPLE wanting a unique challenge can sign up for a special kind of escape this weekend.

For the second year in a row, the popular charity-fundraiser Jail Break has been revived and organisers are looking for teams to take part - and tomorrow you can put your name down in Worcester.

The event, which this year will be held on Sunday, July 27, involves participants being taken to a secret location somewhere in the UK and then they have to find their way back to Hereford Racecourse - but with no money or maps.

Malvern resident Phil Smith, who is organising the event this year, said it would be lots of fun and they wanted lots of teams to sign up.

"We are hoping for around 160 teams this year," he said. "Last year we had around 55 teams so this year we want to step it up a gear.

"Jail Break 2008 is being run in conjunction with Wyvern FM and they have given us a lot of help.

"We want to make sure we get lots of teams from the two counties. For those from Worcestershire we will be running a bus from Worcester to take them to the racecourse in Hereford - so they don't have to worry too much about getting there.

"Last year the Jail Breakers raised £28,000 so we are confident we can make even more for this year's chosen charities."

Jail Break was first started in Hereford by two policemen - Ron Davies and Gren Smith - in 1990, but in 2000, after 10 consecutive years, it ended when the founders reached their £1m target.

Volunteers can sign up for Jail Break 2008 tomorrow at Angel Place between 10am until 2.30pm.

It costs £60 per team and fees cover the costs of the buses and t-shirts.

Four people are needed per team, but organisers ask for five names so one person is in reserve for the day. This year, money raised will be donated to the County Air Ambulance, the Alzheimer's Society, Acorns Hospice and Wyvern FM Kids.

Entry forms are available on the Wyvern FM website on www.wyvernfm.co.uk or by phoning Mr Smith on 01684 893079.
