After a Covid related hiatus we were back with a bang with our annual charity challenge!
Summer 2023 saw us take on the daunting task of hiking the entire 44 miles of the recently created Wold Rangers Way – in ONE DAY! Centered around Driffield, the circular route took us out from the Market Place, through to the rolling Wolds of Huggate, Fridaythorpe and Thixendale, before looping back close to Sledmere and Kilham and finally back into the town centre again.
One August morning, a brave band set off at 5.30am from Driffield Market Place heading west for the Wolds. Up hill and down dale through some of the most glorious countryside England has to offer, we hiked our way along the Wold Rangers Way. There were some tears, there were definitely some blisters, but despite this a successful group of hikers emerged out the other side. Landing back in the Market Place at 9pm with 44 miles in their legs, a weary but elated team was warmly welcomed by fellow supporters, before celebrating with some well earned refreshments in the nearby pub. Well done to all involved and thanks to the support crews along the way.
Once again we were proud to be raising money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. We have always been amazed by the fantastic support our patients and the people of Driffield have given us over the years. We thank you again for helping to save lives across the length and breadth of Yorkshire.
