We're looking for people to help us raise £30,000 by walking round the Isle of Wight in 6 days in October, which is a brilliant time for walking with clear paths, deserted beaches and mild temperate weather.
With over half the island designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Isle of Wight has long been a popular tourist destination. You'll easily see why as you walk the 67 mile coastal path, travelling from golden beaches, to dramatic cliff tops and rolling countryside.
The trek is achievable by most people but walking up to 16 miles a day is no mean feat. Some days will be tougher than others but you'll be rewarded by breath-taking scenery and plenty of rest stops. Luckily the island is also a foodie paradise with fantastic local ingredients, a range of eateries from fine dining to cosy pubs and a couple of breweries and 2 vineyards thrown in. But the biggest reason to take part is that this is a breath-taking challenge to raise vital funds for core services in our special anniversary year.
The itinerary for the trek will be as follows:
9th Oct - arrive in Ryde and stay overnight 10th Oct - walk from Ryde to Shalfleet, stay overnight 11th Oct - walk from Shalfleet to Freshwater Bay, stay overnight 12th Oct - walk from Freshwater Bay to Ventnor, stay overnight 13th Oct - walk from Ventnor to Ryde, stay overnight 14th Oct - depart Only 25 places are available for this amazing experience. Each person will need to pay a booking fee of £250 and raise a minimum amount of sponsorship to take part.
