Walk for Water: Saturday 6th – Thursday 11th September 2025 

What are we doing?

A sponsored walk from Stokesley to Scarborough: 60 miles in 6 days. The walk will be led by an experienced walker who will be ably supported by keen hikers from Stokesley Rotary.  

Whilst the walk leader and Rotary members will be there to guide and support you, your personal health and safety is your own responsibility.

Do I have to do the whole walk?

No you can participate for as many days as you want and do just half a day if that is your limit! We’ve subdivided the route into manageable stages of 5-10 miles per day. You can join us for half a day, a full day or stay with us every step of the 60-mile way! 

When are we doing it?

Saturday September 6th to Thursday September 11th 2025. 

Why are we doing it?

To raise funds for Village Water (www.villagewater.org) to provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities for schools in Mozambique and Zambia. 

Funds raised will establish sustainable water sources, hygiene programs, and clean toilet facilities. This initiative is a step towards lasting change, offering these students a healthier, safer, and brighter future through education. 

Can I take part?

Yes – anyone aged 16 or over who enjoys walking can take part 

Can I bring my dog?

No – dogs are not allowed on this walk for practical reasons. 

Is there a charge?

Yes – we will ask for a fee of £10 per day or half day, up to a maximum of £30, so if you join us for 4, 5 or 6 days the fee remains £30.

Do I have to get sponsorship?

No – but we have an ambitious target of raising £12000 so hope that everyone taking part will try to raise at least £100.

You will receive a sponsorship form once you have registered to start collecting those important sponsors.
