About this Event
Taking in the wonderful Highcliffe coastline, the 9km stroll is a great opportunity to socialise with others affected by Crohn's and Colitis, their friends and family and the volunteers working for you in your local area. The Sponsored Beach Walk also helps to raise awareness of the conditions to people who may not have heard of them or the charity.
Once registered, you will also receive a link to our JustGiving page to circulate amongst your friends, families and supporters so that they can sponsor your endeavour.
All funds go directly to the Dorset & West Hampshire Network, allowing them to continue their fantastic work throughout the area of raising awareness, hosting local education and social events and funding local grants. Should it not be possible to spend the entirety of these funds at a local level, the volunteers will redistribute them to Crohn's & Colitis UK.
Start time for the event 10.00a.m.
FAQs
What is the route?
From the Cliffhanger Restaurant we’ll walk west along the beach to the Highcliffe Castle zigzag path and up through the castle grounds, along to Steamer Point back down to the beach and on to the Haven Cafe on Mudeford Quay, there will be time to purchase refreshment from the cafe but these will be at your own expense. Then we return the same way or possibly round the roads back to Avon Beach and then return on the same track to the Cliffhanger.
Who is the event for?
Everyone! This is a family-friendly event so all ages are welcome. A lot of the 9km route is on stoney/gravel paths and some inclines so sensible walking shoes are highly recommended.
