HEREFORDSHIRE school figures head to the hills this weekend in a bid to raise charity funds.

Today (Sunday) sees the Headmaster's Hike take to the fields east of Bromyard.

The five-mile hike from the Brockhampton Estate is organised by headmasters at Hereford Cathedral School and the Junior School.

It aims to raise money for cancer charities while encouraging fundraisers to enjoy the countryside.

This weekend's glorious weather should ensure a bumper turnout for the annual event, while picnics and smaller routes are encouraged.

For more information, call Hereford Cathedral School on 01432 363511, or turn up throughout the day.
