WALKERS - with a spirit of adventure - are being urged to tackle Britain's highest mountain and raise money for charity.

The Ben Nevis Challenge has been organised to cater for all ages and abilities and gives people from Worcester the chance to join a well-organised group.

Money raised from the event, which takes place during the weekend of September 20-22, will go towards providing bone marrow transplants for people suffering from leukaemia.

"By signing up you are helping us to continue to save the lives of people all around the world," said organiser Nadja Stansall.

"This event will be a challenge for you but when your legs are aching and your heart is pounding, just think of those who are facing the challenge of staying alive each day and how you are helping them."

The package includes transport between Fort William and Glasgow, two nights accommodation, all meals and professional assistance on the mountain.

Each participant needs to raise £350 in sponsorship to cover costs and a contribution to the trust.
