Newlife Malvern Hills End to End Challenge
The Malvern Hills is one of the smaller AONBs comprising of approximately 105 sq.km extending some 20 km in length and about 9 km at its widest point. Located south of Worcester the Malvern Hills includes parts of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.Join us on this fully guided walk exploring the Malverns Ridge from end to end.
The Malvern Hills collectively consist of North Hill, Sugarloaf Hill, Worcestershire Beacon, Summer Hill, Perseverance Hill, Jubilee Hill, Pinnacle Hill, Black Hill, Herefordshire Beacon, Broad Down, Hangman's Hill, Swinyard Hill, Midsummer Hill, Raggedstone Hill and Chase End Hill. This route visits every single one of them! Commanding glorious rural views, there is no finer ridge walk in the three counties. A line drawn due East from Worcestershire Beacon will hit no higher point until the Urals.
With the considerable altitude ascended it is a tough walk visiting every summit on the outward journey and by-passing all but Worcestershire Beacon on the return leg (unless you really want to test yourself and do the whole thing again in reverse!). All funds raised will be in aid of Newlife the Charity for Disabled Children. A minimum sponsorship of £175 is required for each person taking part.
You will be provided with a free t-shirt when you sign up and full support from our fundraising team.
