Walkers reach for the sky
Name of event: approximately 14 miles over varied terrain, starting at Lobden Golf Club between 8am and 9am. The organisers, Whitworth Sports Council, will provide you with written route instructions and orange juice/water/plasters if required at every checkpoint and vehicles may be available to remove you from the moor in the case of emergency. There will also be a certificate and a hot meal available at the finish at Lobden Golf Club. The 14 miles will take you, probably between five and eight hours, so bring a snack or two and a drink, although there will be juice/water available to you at each checkpoint (roughly every three miles), a burger van en route and a meal at the finish back at the golf club. Checkpoint 2 is on the main road at Britannia at five miles, so if you know the full 14 is going to be beyond you, how about walking just those first five miles, which we’re calling the Eastern Skyline and calling it quits? (If you tell us on your entry form this is what you’re going to do, we’ll lop a pound off your entry fee, you’ll still get your certificate and your meal, if you go to Lobden.)

require a lot of time and patience from his new owners. Jasper at times can be very affectionate, head butting you and rolling over on his blankets. However he is very nervous which can set him back and he occasionally can give you a bit of a swipe. Due to this we want Jasper to be adopted to a quiet home where he will Want to find out more?: If you think you can offer Jasper, or any of the other animals available for adoption, a loving home please visit the shelter at Rochdale Animal Centre, 1 Redcross Street, Rochdale, Lancashire OL12 0NZ.
