There are no facilities to leave possessions only bring essentials

First alders will be available in the form of St Johns Ambulance at each walk.

Will there be toilets?

Toilets will be at the start and end of the walk and at other designated points along the walk.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes and shoes Inc your AB FAB t-shirt provided. The walk will not be sheltered so you may need to bring wet weather gear. You can never be sure of the weather so we recommend you wear layers so you can put on and take off as necessary.

Do I need to train?

It is designed to be a fun walk. However, 10 miles is along way! You should be comfortable with walking long distances. (Please see our proposed training guide)

Can we walk as a group?

Yes, of course! We will leave the organization of the group to you and once you register on the night you can re join each other ready for a fab night!

Can I take part alone?

Of course, although we recommend for support you bring friends and family. The route is marshaled and it’s a great way to make new friends.

Can I bring pets?

Unfortunately, no pets are allowed except Guide dogs.

What time can I arrive?

Registration will take part from 10.30 pm to 11 pm. To help keep you amused prior to the walk there will be entertainment and refreshments available. There will also be a fun warm up prior to the walk for everyone to take part in!

Do I have to raise a certain amount of money?

£30 is the minimum amount, we just ask that you raise as much as you can for the Children and Families we help. Last years walks were fantastically successful raising an average of £83.84 per head lets try and really smash this in 2010!

Remember to read the GIFT AID form as we lost about £11,000 in gift aid claims not correctly filled out.

Sponsor forms

Any additional forms need to be requested from the office on 02920 757020 or you can photocopy the one you receive in your confirmed pack. Please do not collect prior to your place being confirmed as places will be limited.

Sponsor Money

Can be handed in on the night at the registration tables or MUST be in 4 weeks after you take part in your chosen walks. The sooner the money is collected the more experiences we can plan for the children you are helping!

How old do I need to be?

Entrants must be 12 or over on the night walks. An adult or guardian must accompany any 12-16 year olds on the walk. The guardian must sign the form in the place provided and must register separately on the walk.

Why is it only women who can walk?

There is a very special feel about a group of women joining together to help children. We do however need loads of volunteers. Any gentlemen feel free to contact us on 02920 757020 to register to join the team and perhaps they too can help raise sponsorship! However last year some gents dressed up as women, we will allow this if you feel inclined!!
