About the Event

The Link 6 Mile Challenge fundraiser for Margaret Haes Riding Centre. 

The Village Link connects all of Bury’s historical villages and is mainly on trail paths passing by a series of iconic landmarks, woodland and open meadow - truly showcasing the stunning green spaces around the town.

 

This 6 mile route passes through Nangreaves and Ramsbottom, finishing in Holcombe. 

Please note that being a point-to-point route, own transport to and from the start location will be required. 

The event is  about completing the challenging distance with the camaraderie of other like-minded people around you, while raising valuable funds for Margaret Haes Riding Centre – there should be no desire to ‘beat’ anyone or break any records and our friendly guides and teams will be there to offer a supportive pep talk when required. 

What's included:

• Finisher memento 

• Finish food and drink supplies

• Secure car parking at the start line in Burrs country Park.

Kit requirements:

• Dressed for the forecast weather. Spare dry clothing.

• Fully charged mobile phone

• Map recommended. e.g. print of route, or Ordnance Survey 287. (Route links and GPX will be provided)

• Compass recommended.

• Survival blanket or bag recommended.

• First aid kit. Personal care and medicines, Compeed/blister plasters, etc

• Suitable trail shoes or boots 

• Personal snacks/food/drinks
