Wainwright Walk

The Wainwright Walk

In the Lake District UK

I'm buzzing.  I am excited.  Big sister and I have been planning the Wainwright Walk for several months.  Our walk is planned for 2015. There has been numerous considerations  to discuss concerning a month away from home.  Some of them being:  Melanie's welfare, Mum,  my sister's family and of course Merv.  The Wainwright Walk is a west to east 190miles (304kms) walk across England from St Bees to Robin Hood Bay.  A guided walk takes 13 days and encompasses a variety of hilly climbs and rocky outcrops to conquer.  It can be tough going.  We have decided to complete the walk in the early part of the English summer next year. We have watched numerous DVDs and checked websites on the Wainwright Walk before finally making a decision to just do it!  Big sister suggested we use the walk to raise funds for the WA Huntington's Association.  What a great idea.  Now the ideas of how to raise awareness of our walk and encourage donations from friends, family and the wider public is now ready for a little brainstorming.  Everyone has new ideas and we are more than happy to hear them!
