A charity will be completing a fundraising walk to mark its 25th anniversary.

Hospice at Home, based in Carlisle and North Lakeland, will be following up with their much-loved Dawn Walk, which first took place in 2008, and again in 2010.

The charity felt it was fitting to once again organise this special walk this year to mark the anniversary.

The event will take place on Saturday, June 12, and participants will be able to view the stunning scenery of Ullswater and the surrounding area.

Ullswater Steamers have donated ‘The Raven’ and organised a special sailing for supporters on the morning of the walk which begins with a 35-minute cruise from Glenridding to Howtown at 8:00 am.

Following the cruise, a seven-mile route of this lakeside walk will commence at 8:35 am from Howtown by Sandwick Bay and return to Glenridding where a brunch will be served to welcome all walkers home.

According to the charity, the walk is graded easy to moderate and involves ascents and descents of 1000 ft.

The Dawn Walk is open to everyone, although under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. 

The Charity also encourages walkers to bring along their four-legged friends to join them for this special occasion.

Julie Blundel, a fundraiser for the charity, said: "This is the ideal occasion to enjoy our beautiful local countryside whilst making a difference to local people, the event could be walked to remember someone special, to get fit or make more memories with family, friends or work colleagues.

"We promise you an event not to be forgotten and thank all in anticipation of their help in this special 25th Anniversary Year."

The entry fee is £20 per adult and £5 for the under 18s. 

Hospice at Home are asking each adult to kindly raise sponsorship for the walk with a target of £75.

The closing date for entries is Wednesday 8th June.

This event has been sponsored by The Secret Garden Bar and Food, and Pooley Bridge Village Stores Post Office.
