WHEN all the Millennium hype is over and all the razzmatazz has died down, how are, you going to remember it?

Medical research charity the Arthritis Research Campaign has joined forces with legendary mountaineer Doug Scott and his Specialist Trekking Co-Operative to run two 10-day treks through the foothills of the Himalayas in May next year.

Anyone with a reasonable level of fitness can take part in the Himalayan Challenge 2000, although there's the chance for the super fit to extend some of the walks by taking in the odd mountain peak.

To take part all you need to do is pay a non-refundable deposit of £200 and make a commitment to raise £2,000 in sponsorship.

Proceeds from the Himalayan Challenge 2000 will go to fund work by the Arthritis Research Campaign, the fifth biggest medical research charity in the UK, which is dedicated to finding the cause of and cure for arthritis and rheumatic disease.
