Story

Since partnering up with the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal as our charity of the year in spring, we have been planning a serious hiking challenge to raise funds for providing essential humanitarian relief to those fleeing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

On Friday 16 September 2022, Lee & Thompson's team will attempt to trek 25 km within a day in the Peak District, to raise funds for the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Our group of 25 (and counting) will begin midway between Hope and Castleton and before long, will ascend onto the dales via the famous Cave Dale, a steep limestone valley. Next in their sights will be the ascent of Mam Tor which will provide a bird's eye view of the rest of the route as they follow the dramatic Edale valley edge horseshoe. After a steep descent into Edale, there is a final up and over via Hollins Cross to head back down into Hope Valley and the starting point having climbed nearly 3,000 feet.

For lots of us, it will be a tough physical challenge unlike anything we have attempted before. We are hoping for early Autumn sunshine rather than a drenched September day. Check out the trek route below.

Help our fundraising

If you can sponsor our team of walkers to support our fundraising challenge for the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, it would mean so much to our walkers – please do donate whatever you can!
