The Rossendale Rambler

If you’re want something big - I mean really big - something that represents the challenge of a lifetime, The Children’s Hospital Appeal are the people to contact. They are organising a trek from Nairobi to the heights of Mount Kenya - all 16,345 ft of it via the ‘Corkscrew Route’, a gradual ascent that minimises the threat of altitude sickness and allows you to get the most from the spectacular views. This is a charity appeal so you’ll have to get sponsors, plenty of them, and the requirements are that you will need to have a high level of personal fitness. The challenge was to have been from the 11th - 19th September 1999 but it has now been put back to datesfrom Sunday 20th to Sunday 27th February 2000. This gives you plenty of time to get those sponsors together. For details of what you need, contact Louise now, at:-

Appeals Office on 0161 276 8700.

Have you got what it takes? You never know!

For those going to Kenya, there will be a practice walk on Sunday, October 17th 1999. This will be the Fairfield Horshoe - a walk of some ten miles. We will meet at the car park near the little house over the stream. Further details will be sent nearer the date.
