The
Kinder Walk and Kinder Challenge - SCOUTS
The Kinder Walk is organised on behalf of the Derbyshire
County Scout Council and is open to all members of the Scout
and Guide Associations, subject to
the various trophy categories. The Kinder Walk itself is approximately 29km
and the Kinder Challenge (new for 2008 with a start and finish at Chapel-en-le-Frith)
is around 16km. The Walk is aimed at older Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Guides
and
members
of Scout
Network.
It is
a
challenge of map reading and stamina in this exciting and rugged area of
the Peak District. The walk is a team event – for teams of between
2 and 5, see Categories and eligibility for details on the Kinder
Challenge Walk web site. Times vary between 3 and 8 hours, maybe this
will be the year to break the record
and
yours could
be
the
team
to do it!!
Disclaimer - please make sure that your party has the necessary skills, equipment and fitness before setting off into the hills. It is often necessary to be able to navigate through peat bogs and over open moorland using a map and compass. The weather can change very quickly in the hills so be prepared.
