Will4Adventure
is now planning the next Challenge4Charity in aid of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation: this will be an insane 50 mile sponsored walk
through the Peak District National Park.
Wherever you stop – we’ll pick you up – how far will you go? Challenge4Charity
2010 is
a continuous sponsored walk - with no opportunities for sleeping, or
for separate team members to walk separate stages - it is purely a case
of walk … as far as your legs will take you! With regular marshals and support drivers you have the option to walk as far as you can up to the maximum of 50 miles inside 24 hours.
To that end pick up points will be located at the 10 mile point, the
15 mile point, and then at two and three mile intervals thereafter until
the half way point. After 25 miles, walkers will continue in small teams
and be supported by a vehicle which will meet them at one and two mile
intervals.
The
Route
<< Download your Route Card here
The route is circular and will start and finish in Sheffield, via the half way point in Bakewell. While it is not hilly, it is in the Peak District - so there will be hills to walk up and down: though nothing too steep. It follows footpaths, bridleways, and byways, and some roads. It is easily navigated and pleasant to follow.
Before the event all walkers will be given a set of written instructions
to help them find their way. In addition marshals will be located along
the route to show the way.
Maps
OS Landranger 1:50,000 sheet numbers 110 and 119.
Timings
This event will commence on Saturday 27th March at 7am. It will
finish on Sunday 29th March at 7am … or when walkers can walk no
further - whichever happens first!
Refreshments and Feeding
Walkers are requested to bring and carry a lunch pack and a large assortment of snacks to take them through the day. In addition Will4Adventure will provide drink stations at marshal points and a hot meal at Bakewell for all that want one.
Accommodation
The issue here is that you may finish your walk at 3 in the morning so be sure to book a hotel that knows this and is happy with this arrangement. We will be happy to provide details of local hotels and a campsite that can help.
Cost
This event will cost you £30 per person to enter. Late entries
(after 28/02/10) will cost £35. No entries can be taken on the
day.
Please note that this event is a non-profit event. We encourage you to raise this fee through sponsorship and hopefully
- you may raise even more! But, an initial payment of £30 gets
you entered into this event. Cheques should be made payable to Will4Adventure.
Event
Support
This entire event will only work with the help of volunteers. That begins
with us - but we are also looking for kind souls to fill these jobs:
* drivers
to ferry people back to rendezvous points (day and night shifts)
* stationary
marshals to check people through the check points
Let us know if you are willing and able to help us out and please do
ask around if you know anyone that may be able to help. Your assistance
will be vital, and we assure you, you will totally enjoy being a part
of the team on this great day.
