ABOUT 60 people took part in this year's Cancer Research sponsored walk on the Malvern Hills on Saturday.

Walkers of all ages gathered for the start of the event at Golden Valley, Castlemorton, and chose from three, six or ten-mile routes.

Organiser Ray Worth said: "We had regular supporters who come every year, and we had several family groups including eight-month-old twins.

"We were lucky with the weather. We made about £4,000 which means we have raised over £140,000 since our first walk in 1999."
