The Nidderdale Walk is set to return this year for its 30th anniversary and organisers hope for a landmark event.

This year’s walk is set to take place on May 19, starting in Pateley Bridge and heading into upper Nidderdale.

The walk is made up of six routes ranging from four miles to 26 miles with a new 18-mile hike added this year.

The varied routes take walkers through the scenic countryside of Wath, Ramsgill, Lofthouse, Gouthwaite, Fountains Earth Moor, and Scar House Reservoir.

The walk first took place in 1994 and has since raised more than £970,000 for local and national charities.

Organised by the Rotary Club of Harrogate, it generated £24,000 last year alone and is hoped overall total raised surpasses the £1 million milestone this year.

The Nidderdale Walk is organised by the Rotary Club of Harrogate.



Brian Stuttard, chairman of the walk committee said:

“The sole purpose of this Rotary event is to provide fundraisers with well organised, waymarked walks with checkpoints along the way to enable them to raise money for their own charities. We do the preparation, you raise sponsorship by walking or running."

Lead sponsor for the event this year is estate agent Verity Frearson. Director Matthew Stamford said:

“This is one the most eagerly-anticipated charity events on the Harrogate social calendar and we are delighted to be supporting it in its 30th year.
“So much has been raised over the last 29 years for so many good causes and it would be the icing on the cake if we were able to help the Rotary Club of Harrogate reach their £1m milestone. It promises to be a great day and we cannot wait to get involved.”
