How would you like to trek Little Tibet for Mencap as their pre-Millennium challenge to experience the wonders of this remote area on India's northern-most border on a 12-day trip of a lifetime?

Now is your chance, and it's all for a great cause. I invite your readers to stride out in support of Mencap by taking on this incredible adventure to help people with learning disabilities. We are looking for 100 participants to pay a £225 registration fee and raise sponsorship money. After this, flights, food, accommodation and bike hire are all covered.

Don't miss this 12-day challenge in August. Call 0645 777 779 for your Trek Little Tibet pack, or write to Trek Little Tibet for Mencap, Mencap Freepost, London EC1B 1AA.
