This isn’t just a walk, it’s a journey to make a difference! We’re raising funds for Bolton Hospice, a beacon of care and support for local people facing life-limiting illnesses and their families.
Mark your calendars for this moderately challenging but rewarding trail to the top of Winter Hill, Rivington Moor, Chorley. As you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views that are worth every step!
Donations for Bolton Hospice can be made before or on the day. But remember, places are limited to 20 lucky adventurers, so don’t miss out!
