On the Morning of the Walk – Arrival and Check In
Check in is between 8 and 8:30am in Ardara on Saturday June 10th.
We ask all walkers to ‘check in’ when they arrive in Ardara so Volunteers can mark you present and we know we don’t need to wait for you.
Once you are checked in you will be able to place your bag with extra socks, shoes, boots, clothes, food, etc, into your assigned van. The volunteer drivers will be there to assist you. Please make sure you have an identifying ribbon or such like on the outside of your bag as there maybe 40 bags in the one van.
After check in you are welcome to get hot cuppa and a delicious scone – baked and supplied by a kind friend of the challenge.
Getting on the road
As soon as everyone is checked in, we will then start to get into our assigned groups and off we go at approximately 8.30am.
After a quick Health & Safety talk and a group photo, the first group will head off starting through a ‘human gate’. There are two ‘main’ guides and other experienced members of local Hill walking group The Bluestack Ramblers as stewards in every group. Please make sure to thank these wonderful people who give freely of their time and expertise for your enjoyment and safety on this day. The second group will take off approximately 10 minutes later and the following groups will do likewise.
