Why We’re Walking
Our previous Three Castles Walk was a great success, people enjoyed the community feel and the exercise so we thought to plan another! However, unlike the last walk, which was a fundraising event, this is just a straightforward community walk, no fundraising required - though donations are always welcome to support the centre and we’re happy for people to use the walk as a fundraising event if they wish.
Food
People joining the walk are to prepare their own lunches and drinks, though we hope to have some volunteers on hand that may treat us to powerful treats!
Volunteers
Volunteers are always needed to help events like this run smoothly. Ideally we require two people who can be available to drive walkers to and from the Peaks and supporting with some light refreshments.
Accommodation
We’re happy to provide overnight accommodation. After registration, just let us know which night you’d like to stay via email: lamrimwalesmanagers@gmail.com
Register
Registration is not essential! but it just helps us with planning. People are welcome to turn up on the day at the car park!
