Step in to help charity

THE British Heart Foundation is encouraging walkers to help raise vital funds.

The charity is hosting its annual event, the Hearts First High Peak Trail Winter Challenge Walk, on Sunday November 18.

The 17.5 mile hike attracts more than 1,400 walkers. Starting near Matlock, walkers follow a route through stunning Derbyshire countryside, finishing at Hurdlow, near Buxton.

Entry is 5 if walkers pre-register and 10 on the day. For more information, visit www.bhf.org.uk/events or call 0800 0852280.
