Welcome to the ‘Louise Smalley Walk’ website!
The Louise Smalley Walk is an annual sponsored challenge walk, 40 miles in length.
The 2019 walk was on Saturday 22nd June.
We hold the walk to help raise money for local charities and good causes.
We are based in Whitwell, North East Derbyshire.
We are highly enthusiastic about seeing newcomers join the walk.
But if you don’t think you can do the walk itself, then we would love for you to become part of a support team!
The support teams are an integral part of the event and it would be a much more difficult undertaking without their assistance.
In 2019 we walked for the following beneficiary:
The 2018 walk raised £11,300 for Whitwell Cricket Club
The 2019 walk was the Monsal Head route.
The closing date for the 2019 walk has now past.
Well done to all the walkers, support crew, medical teams and sponsors who helped to make the 2019 walk a magnificent success. 100 walkers set off from Monsal Head and after conquering hills, heat and over 41 miles, 97 made it all the way to the end.
