Sponsored Walk 2010
Dear Parents & Members, On Sunday 18th April officers of 15th Wigan BB & GA are doing our main fundraising event of the year with all monies made going to the award evening 2010. This year we are doing a sponsored walk in the Lake District and we are giving parents who like a challenge the opportunity to join us. We shall be leaving by coach from Abram School, Simpkin Street at 6.30am. Arriving in Grasmere around 8am and parking in the coach bay in the village car park. The walk we shall be doing is the Silver How 1,292ft and Loughrigg Fell 1,101ft which are called ' The Wainwrights ' No 7 and 8 in the Central Fells. On the walk we do a circular of the lovely Grasmere and Rydal area, taking in some beautiful views from the surrounding hills and high mountains of the Lake District such as Helvellyn and Blencathra if the weather is kind!. The walk starts with an ascent immediately up Silver How, we may see The Lansdale Valley and Pikes, we then make our way down the opposite side, following a wide ridge down to the valley base and take a steep stepped ascent up Loughrigg Fell. Returning via the Coffin Trail on the East side of the lakes, we should have visited all 3 of Wordsworth residences, inspiring the poets amongst us no doubt. We will stop half way around the walk for refreshments at the Badger Inn, at the top of Rydal. The total distance is 8.9miles with a total height ascended of 1950 feet. This will take us around 5 ½ hours. Please note you must be over 18 years of age and of good fitness to take part in this event. If you are interested in taking part in the walk can you please contact me. We are putting on a coach and we only have a limited number of places available which will be allocated on a first come first served basis. We kindly ask that all walkers get individual sponsorship and must sign a disclaimer against the company and also make a contribution towards the cost of the coach. The cost of the coach will depend on the amount of people using the coach. The company would like to express its gratitude to Mr Justin Fellows who is a very experienced walker. Justin will be supporting the company as guide on the walk. Neither the 15th Wigan Boys’ Brigade & 15th Wigan Girls Association, Justin Fellows nor Steven Hyde (captain) accept no liability for any injury, damage or loss resulting from the sponsored walk on Sunday 18th April 2010.
I remain
yours sincerely Steven Hyde Captain |
