Welcome to the ‘Louise Smalley Walk’ website!
The Louise Smalley Walk is an annual sponsored challenge walk, 40 miles in length.
We hold the walk to help raise money for local charities and good causes.
We are based in Whitwell, North East Derbyshire.
The Heritage Route 2022
This year, the Louise Smalley Challenge Walk will take place on the 18th June 2022.
For 2022 we will be completing the Heritage round route. This is a fantastic circular walk which will start, and end, at the Royal Oak in Whitwell. The 40 miles will take walkers through a range of historic locations within our local area.
Once again, we will be raising money for a local cause, nominated and selected by the participants of last year’s successful event. Therefore, we will all be raising money for Ashgate Hospice. To find out more about where the money will go, follow the link below.
