Volunteers

  • If you are willing to come and offer your time (and energy!) then there is no charge for this
  • As a volunteer then this means you will be non-walking.
  • Now that the walk has grown the need and importance for more people to help with the logistics and volunteer has never been more important.
  • Days can be very physically demanding with early starts and lots to do throughout the day!
  • You can offer as much or as little as you decide – if we can get enough help we will try and rota it!
  • We need help with driving, cooking, food preparation, serving food, tidying, tuck shop and lots more!
  • As a volunteer please use this link: here

What’s included:

  • The price includes everything (food, camping and a t-shirt per day).
  • We do not carry equipment – we stay at the same campsite every night and are transported to and from start/finish positions each day. We assist adults with transportation each day.
  • Where you can stay:
    • the camp is in Wareham, at Swanage and Wareham Rugby Club not Burnbake.
  • The walk is very physically demanding, we strongly suggest you prepare/train before the event.
