Fund raising event for Teesdale and Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue Team
Fancy raising money to help one of our regions mountain rescue teams and having a spiffing good walk into the process.
The Three Rivers Challenge is being held on Saturday September 21 in Teesdale. The walk is a 21 km / 13 mile linear walk starting at the Wynch Bridge near Bowlees and Finishing at Barnard Castle, taking in along the way some spectacular scenery as it passes the rivers Balder, Lune and Tees. The distance is long enough to be a challenge but not that long where you need to embark on specific training and so is suitable for most abilities.
The entry fee is £15 which includes coach transport from Barnard Castle to the start of the walk and a £5 donation to Teesdale and Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue Team. The event promises to be quite popular and so early entry is recommended. See the event website at www.discoverdurhamdales.co.uk
