Since 2009, when over 40 individuals conquered the demanding 42-mile Lyke Wake Walk, raising more than £3,500 for Breast Cancer Care, the CPMG Architects Ltd charity walk has evolved into an annual tradition. This event garners significant support from both individuals and businesses across the East Midlands, all coming together to raise funds for local charities.
This year's event is scheduled for Saturday, 6th July, featuring a 30-mile walk that starts at the Miner's Standard pub, above the village of Winster. The route follows a circular path that skirts the edge of Matlock, takes in the sights of Riber Castle, and descends into the Derwent River Valley, offering scenic views throughout. Participants will then join the old railway incline on the High Peak Trail, which showcases the area's rich industrial heritage. The walk continues through Cromford Village and heads down to Carsington village to admire views across Carsington Reservoir. As we circle back, we rejoin the High Peak Trail at Gotham, follow Long Dale and Grattan Dale to Dale End, and finish with a well-earned pint back at the Miner's Standard.
As usual, our renowned mobile tuck shop will be available at regular checkpoints along the way, ensuring walkers are fueled with food and fluids, before culminating the journey with a well-deserved pint at the pub!
Nottingham Women’s Centre In 2024, we take pride in supporting Nottingham Women’s Centre. Nottingham Women's Centre (NWC) works collaboratively with other local women's crisis and violence reduction services to offer a range of services across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to women with mental health needs, women offenders, women who are seeking asylum, facing extreme poverty, escaping abuse or women simply wanting to make a change in their lives.
