Story

Hi all,

A small group of us have signed up for the Mendip Challenge on Sunday 31st May, and we’d love you to join or support us.

For context, this is a "fun and rewarding” walk across the Mendip Hills.

There are four routes:

5 miles – wholesome, scenic, still friends at the end

10 miles – respectable effort, mild regret

20 miles – serious commitment, snacks needed to survive

30 miles: ..... send help

Current team line-up:

Grace Hughes

Adi Day

Andrew Alderton

Melissa Shephard

Kirsty Winter

The route runs through the Mendips (including Ebbor Gorge, Cheddar Gorge & Crooks Peak), finishing at Weston Cricket Club.

It’s all in support of Weston Hospicecare, which only gets about 18% of its funding from the NHS, so it’s a genuinely worthwhile cause.

Thanks for reading this far, any donation is appreciated :)
