CHILDREN’S Hospice South West (CHSW) is calling for people to lace up their walking boots and take on the Incredible Hike once again this May.
After a successful first attempt to hike from Minehead to Croyde in 2024, Children’s Hospice South West hopes to tackle another 60 mile portion of the south West Coast Path, from Westward Ho! to the legendary Tintagel.
Kate Romo, event organiser for CHS, said: “This year we are starting our hike in the popular coastal village of Westward Ho! with stunning cliff top views from the very start, walking to Titchberry where we will be rewarded with incredible views out to Lundy Island.”
“On day two our hikers will continue on their journey walking from Titchberry to Bude where the Coast Path climbs above the rocky shoreline, past beautiful natural waterfalls, secluded combes, crossing river valleys heading into Bude for a well-deserved rest.
“We are really looking forward to the event this year, lots of participants that took part last year have already signed up again, it will be great to see both old and new faces at the Incredible Hike in May.”
The challenge is open to hikers of all abilities, but a good level of fitness is essential for the event as each day will involve up to 9 hours of walking, with hills and potentially rough terrain.
The registration fee is £350 which goes towards accommodation, meals and transport for the weekend, and participants are required to raise a minimum of £1000 for the hospice.
