BRIAN Blessed here, actor and mountaineer! I am writing on behalf of the disability charity, Scope. It wants 80 volunteers to take part in a unique Moroccan Mountain 4,167m trek in June 2002.

I urge you to sign up for this amazing hiking challenge. Experience the gateway to Africa; from the exotic delights of Marrakech to trekking 4,167m (13,760ft) in just two days to summit Mount Toubkal North Africa's highest peak. Imagine how you'll feel trekking through Morocco's beautiful landscape to your goal the roof of North Africa, watching the dawn break over the High Atlas Mountains. This really is a once in a lifetime challenge and a wonderful way to help a great charity. Flights, food, accommodation and experienced guides are provided. All you have to do is pay £100 entry fee and raise the minimum sponsorship.

For an information pack call me direct on 0800 0191200 (24 hours).
