A GROUP of 200 guides from across the North West will take up a ride challenge at the Camelot theme park in Chorley this weekend.

Guides, on a millennium camp, will take part in a day-long contest to see how many rides they can experience throughout the day.

The winner will receive a family ticket for the theme park, which was voted North West Attraction of the Year last year.

Lynn Archer, from the North West Guide Association, said: "The objective of the association is to provide an enjoyable and safe programme of events, which are undertaken by trained volunteers. We have more than 200 Guides visiting and Camelot is a perfect venue for our millennium camp."

The association boasts 80,000 members from across Lancashire, Cumbria and Manchester.
