ROTARIANS from Burnley Pendleside Club have announced the 3nd annual Pendle Pub Walk, and this year’s sponsored charity event promises to be the biggest yet!
The 10 mile circular walk – scheduled for Saturday 18th June - will begin in Barley and pass through some of Pendle's most stunning scenery, stopping off at some of the area’s finest pubs as waypoints. This year’s walk is set to raise money for Pendleside Hospice – a very worthy cause that is close to the hearts of thousands of people across east Lancashire.
Grahame Trudgill one of the organisers of the walk, said: “The event gives people an opportunity to enjoy a summer walk through wonderful scenery and in the company of friends and family. It’s also a really good opportunity to meet lots of new people – I was really struck by the atmosphere and camaraderie at last year’s event, as people walked together chatting and stopping off for drinks on the way round.”
“This year’s walk is going to raise money for Pendleside Hospice. So many of us have a connection with the Hospice and everybody is touched by their dedication and the wonderful service they deliver to our community – so I’d urge as many people as possible to get involved.”
People interested in either participating in the walk or sponsoring walkers should visit the website set up especially for the walk - www.pendlepubwalk.co.uk. Organisers say that everyone is welcome on the walk - registration is open and costs just £10.
Last year's event saw 150 walkers raise over £6,000 for Derian House Children’s Hospice and The Prostate Cancer Charity.
