20th March,
The Louise Smalley Challenge Walk is a 40 mile (and a bit) award winning challenge walk in aid of local charitable and good causes. It is organised by the community of Whitwell in North Derbyshire in the name of Louise Smalley, who tragically lost her fight against illnesses at a very tender age.
So far the walk has raised nearly £265,000, last year's beneficiary ROTHACS (Rotherham Abuse and Counselling Services) had walkers raise a fantastic £15,600
This year the walk is in aid of the Just Good Friends Club a registered charity that supports adults with learning disabilities delivering clubs in Clowne, Pinxton, Bolsover, Worksop, Chesterfield and Dronfield.
There are a number of routes in the walk portfolio all which end in Whitwell, this year’s route is the Millers Dale route. The walk takes place on Saturday June 15th 2024 starting at Millers Dale and taking in Monsal Head, Bakewell, Chatsworth Estate, Chesterfield, Bolsover Castle and the Archaeological Way.
Application to walk deadline is May 31st.
