Pennine Way 60th Anniversary Walking Challenge October 2, 2024

Join us to celebrate Pennine Way’s 60th anniversary with a walking challenge!

To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Pennine Way, we are asking current or past members of Girlguiding to walk the 268-mile route in celebration. The route will be broken down into manageable sections so anyone who wants to take part can!

Our walking adviser will work with your group to allocate you a section of the Pennine Way which you will be responsible for covering on the day. As a group, this walk will be self-led and you will be responsible for your own meeting time, meeting location, consent forms and first aid. We will also be providing a general risk assessment for the event, which you may wish to adapt for your group depending on local factors.

No walking qualification is required to take part in this event. Whilst a walking qualification is required to cover the tougher terrain, if you do not have your walking qualification, we will be able to allocate your group to a section of the trail suitable for you.

To sign up, please complete the google form here.
