LARGER than life actor Brian Blessed is looking for Bolton people to go to the roof of the world to help a worthy cause.

Appealing on behalf of medical research charity Action Research, the thespian is flagging up a fundraising trek through Nepal next April.

Mr Blessed, who is no stranger to the Himalayas, said would-be adventurers would complete a tough six day trek which will take in all the beauty of the mountain kingdom.

To take part, you must pay a registration fee and raise a minimum amount of sponsorship. Action Research has a skilled fundraising team and will help you every step of the way.
