THE Leprosy Relief Association (LEPRA) is asking ramblers to join a sponsored summer hike along Hadrian's Wall to help victims in the developing world.

LEPRA's hike runs starts at 2pm on Friday, August 16, and finishes on Thursday, August 22, covering a distance of more than 70 miles.

The charity is also taking bookings for a trek in Nepal in September and a cycle ride in India in January 2003. For more information, contact Adrian Hawkins on 08451 212121.
