Fright Hike

Hucknall Rotary Club’s team managed to complete the Fright Hike challenge was to complete the 18 mile route in under six hours raising over £ 1,000 for Theodora Children’s Trust charity.  Just after  at 4pm, the team left the Starting point at Sherwood Pines Country Park and hiked their way through the falling darkness and around the circuit that including Sherwood Pines, Clipstone Forest,  Bilsthorpe, Cutts Wood, Rufford Country Park and Centre Parcs Holiday Village

It was a lot tougher than I’ d envisaged and we all had to dig in deep to find the strength and determination for this gruelling challenge.  Without the support and encouragement of every team member, I’m not sure that I would have made it.   Meeting this challenge was a great effect in teamwork, sometime which Hucknall Rotary Club excels at.

The Fright Hike was superbly organised by Global Adventure Challenges.  Instructions were given with great clarity and every participant was fully aware of the safety procedures should they need them. 

Each entrant was issued with a route map, however the route was marked so well with directional arrows and glow sticks that  the Hucknall team didn’t need to consult their maps once. 

Its still not to late to sponsor the team and support Theodora Children’s Trust.   Please visit our Just Giving page and support a worth- while charity.
