Again, Pateley Bridge is our starting point with the routes taking participants into upper Nidderdale. The sole purpose of this Rotary event is to provide you with well organised, waymarked walks with checkpoints along the way to enable you to raise money for your own charities. Rotary do the preparation….you raise sponsorship and walk (or run) for Ripon Community Link or other charities. Charities with 10 or more supporters entering will receive a donation of 50% of all their supporter's entry fees, paid directly to the charity.
