WOULD-BE explorers are wanted to trek across a desert to raise cash for a lifesaving charity.
The Essex Air Ambulance needs volunteers to hike for seven days next November across the red sands of Jordan.
The eight day trip starts by acclimatising at the Dead Sea before trekkers set off from Wadi Khudeira to Petra, crossing the Petra Mountains.
The trip takes place between November 3-10 2013.
Until November 2012 the charity is offering a discounted registration fee of £250, down from the full fee of £300, plus a minimum fundraising target is required. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
To register an interest contact Sabi Blyth on 0845 2417 690, email frco-ordinator@ehaat.uk.com or visit essexairambulance.uk.com .
