THREE Corsham women are pulling on their boots and getting ready to join fellow trekkers from all over the UK for The National Autistic Society's Ben Nevis Challenge on October 10 and 12.

The group will be heading to Scotland to climb Ben Nevis, 4,406ft, the highest mountain in Britain.

Their achievements will help raise much-needed money to support adults and children who are affected by autistic spectrum disorders.

There are still a few places left on the trip. Anyone who wants to join the challenge can contact Marie Arnold, on 020 7903 3663 or fundraising@nas.org.uk
