In association with ET Payroll and Mindful Walks NE, the scenic event offers a weekend full of fun, friends, and fundraising — all in aid of supporting military personnel suffering from cancer, and their families.The perfect base sitting in the heart of the Peak District, Thornbridge Outdoors will open its doors to sponsors on Friday 10 May, with check-in available from 17:00pm.Beautiful grounds spanning 30 acres offer the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor tranquillity for the weekend.To help guests truly immerse themselves in the team-building spirit, we’re thrilled to be hosting our own networking event at 20:00pm on the first day of arrival. Whether you pop by for 30 minutes or stay for hours of conversation, everyone is welcome.We’ll be lacing up our walking boots and donning our finest anoraks on Saturday, to see the most breathtaking views the Peak District has to offer.With two circular routes on the cards, our sponsors can opt for a 15 or 22-mile stroll through the rolling hills and vibrant valleys. Taking anywhere between six and 12 hours, these long-distance walks aren’t for the faint hearted.But scenic sights to behold, funds supporting a valiant cause, and friendly conversations over hearty grub waiting for you back at the accommodation, make it all the more worthwhile.Any keen paddlers out there? Sunday will see teams compete in our ultimate adrenaline pumping water sports activity, the dragon boat race, at Manvers Waterfront Boat Club in Rotherham.Whether you’re an individual supporter, a group of friends, sports team, or enter through a company — all you need is good rhythm, and a competitive streak.
