All the 4s will set off from Scunthorpe on Fri 12 Aug 2011 and over the next 10 days, including the weekends 13/14 and 20/21 Aug, will walk through the 4 counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Essex; they will include the towns of Grimsby, Mablethorpe, Boston, Spalding, Cambridge, Ely, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester and will finish in Southend on Sun 21 Aug.
To encourage maximum participation and sponsorship, the opportunity exists for members of the public to join the walk, on any day, to complete a leg, or any number of legs on different days. Legs will be between 10 – 16 miles per day.
Please have a look at the daily summaries above for details of the individual legs.
We'd be delighted if you could join us in raising sponsorship money for what will be an enjoyable and memorable event. Anybody wishing to participate on any day or leg of the walk should contact Major Mick Abbs. This is so that we'll know roughly how many walkers to expect on each day. Besides that, you should aim to arrive at the start location at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time, sporting a pair of well-worn in walking boots (or similar) and comfortable walking clothing. It would also be advisable to bring a small daysack containing a drink, lunch where necessary and some wet-weather gear.
