Welcome to the The RIDGE WALK website!
Join this amazing fundraising hike across ‘The RIDGEWAY’ as we explore
the stunning scenery of Oxfordshire and Wiltshire.
2010 Ridge Walk Timings
The Sewer Rats team arrived ahead of all checkpoint timing, and finished the Mega RIDGE WALK in 13 hours 38 minutes, the results page cannot show their timing results because they were ahead of the checkpoint schedule. Congratulations to Andrew and his team.
The top eight teams timings was also not recorded accurately by the timing equipment and the results table will be adjusted by Friday 7th May 2010.
This fantastic endurance team event gives you and your team the opportunity to tackle and conquer the oldest road in Britain - ‘The Ridgeway’. The trek takes you and your team from Oxfordshire across the county border in to Wiltshire. The Ridgeway is steeped in history and is one of the most beautiful and dramatic national trails the UK has to offer.
Not only will you be competing in The RIDGE WALK for yourself, allowing you to achieve something
remarkable, you will be supporting and raising vital funds for Sense – the leading national charity
that supports children and adults who are Deafblind.
First of all let us assure you that this is a challenge, and is not for the faint hearted!
Your team will have a choice of 2 routes:
Mega RIDGE WALK – to complete 52 miles and climb 3,800 ft in 24 hours.
Mini RIDGE WALK – to complete 31 miles and climb 2,300 ft in 15 hours.
Regardless of which route you decide to tackle, this team challenge will test you and your team
both physically and mentally. The trekking will be tough, the day will be long and at times you will
question individually and as a team whether you can complete The RIDGE WALK! You will need to
be physically and mentally prepared to keep on going, to push the boundaries but working
together you will find that anything is possible.
Success on this challenge is all about team work – from the moment that you register you will need to work as a team, you will need to train and prepare as a team and fundraise as a team. It’s this bond that is built and developed in the lead up to the event that will enable you to successfully take on and conquer The RIDGE WALK – without this bond failure is almost certain!
