Are your boots made for walking?

St Basils who work with young people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless are hosting “The Cotswolds Challenge”. This fundraising event is to give walkers a safe and enjoyable challenge whilst raising money for St Basils, one of the Lord Mayors Charities. It takes place in the Cotswolds, starting and finishing from Chipping Campden School in Chipping Campden, on Saturday 5th June 2010.

There are 2 circular walks starting and finishing from the same point at Chipping Campden School. The shorter walk is about 14 miles and the longer walk is about 28 miles. Your team can start at any time between 7am and 9am on Saturday 5th June 2010.

Teams must consist of between 3 and 6 people. The fee for each team is £125 however we encourage you to try and raise as much money as you can for St Basils. Each team you will receive a comprehensive walk guide, an Ordinance Survey section map, an evening meal for each person and a medal of honour. All types of accommodation are available in the area and there are camping facilities close by.

There are marshal points around the walking route and some of them will have emergency supplies of Cadbury’s chocolate and water, however we do urge all walkers to come prepared with water and provisions.

This event is very popular and attracts hundreds of people every year. The closing date for entrants is 21st May 2010, to register please download the registration form below, complete and return.
