Charity Crawl 2022?

[Nick]

Hey guys,

 

I've been thinking of ways to raise a little more money for charity and do something a bit fun as well! 

 

How about maybe in 2022 we get together and do a charity scale/crawl?

 

Find a decent peak to get to the top of or a 5km stretch over some country side that would take a few hours, like an endurance run?

 

Just testing the water, so let me know your thoughts! 🙂

The Maverick Scout owners group on Facebook did a similar thing one year. If I remember correctly they took them up Mount Snowdon. I'd love to get involved in something like this but it's very unlikely I'd be able to work/family commitments. Happy to support anyone who gets involved with a donation though 🙂

@Nick yes depending on when it is and where i would really be up for this, i do know a cross country good trail  with parking its a place called Ogden waters near Halifax, i did a 5k trail a couple of years back

Think you’ve made a mistake there @Nick. ‘fun’ and ‘crawl’?  🤔
 

Great idea re a fund raising effort. I’d happily donate if going to a good cause 👍🏻

[BashingBrian]

Sounds interesting 🤔😁

[Fat Freddy]

Depending where/when, I’d be very interested in this.

If for some reason I can’t attend, I’ll donate something.

[Nick]

Sounds like there is enough interest! 😄

 

Well I'll probably wait until some warmer weather before planning things, it will most likely be in North/West Yorkshire - since that's where I am.

Haha! I know what you're saying, I actually have never owned a crawler but the idea of doing something worthy of being charitable with faster stuff would probably mean a 24hr race, which I'm at an age now where I like to be in bed before 10pm.

 

I will try to find a place with challenging terrain so it isn't just a walk with your pet RC. 😛

 

[Gaz!]

Count me in mate. 

 

as for location, there’s Black rocks just outside Matlock bath, or Bracken rocks (private land) in Derbyshire both have enough scope to run for miles with varying terrain from a trail to rock.

 

could do a 500 gate trail covering all types of terrain.

 

always happy to help out if needed, your in my Rc area of interest now @Nick, I’m sure I could pop some prizes in too if that would help?

 

cheers

Sounds interesting 

Would it be a 1 day or a weekend thing ?

Good location shouts! I'll certainly be in touch we can plan together. 🙂

Just 1 day, I was thinking of keeping it casual, 10am start, finish early afternoon, 3-4 hour crawl. Can have a bit of fun without it becoming too much of a long drawn out day, especially those who might travel far.

[Stormbringer]

Sounds like a plan mate 

[Lone-wolf]

The place I mentioned, Ogden waters has miles of little tracks with mixed terrain some flat some slopes and some tricky spots but all good, stunning scenery, at present no toilets but free parking if starting at the Ogden end

[Lone-wolf]

I put a very quick an dirty slideshow from when me and my mrs did the 5k at Ogden waters on the moors

 

[Lone-wolf]

I have shared this on my little micro group on FB also on FB Yorkshire RC beasts

[wombat]

Hi all, if its in N Yorkshire area i"d be up for this 😀

[stretch]

Yep i'd be all over this depending on location.

[Lone-wolf]

@Nick any update on this event, still think cow an calf would be a good location, also near me is Harden moor near Keighley, very large circular area, i do think we could raise a fair bit

[Nick]

It would definitely be in Yorkshire I think! When the weather is better. I'll have to check that place out sometime Jack!

 

I'll start looking into things. 🙂 Do you have a route you could draw on a map or something Jack so I can get a better idea?

[stretch]

Yorkshire! overnight stay I recon then.

I still say Black rocks in Derbyshire,

 

There is literally miles of trails, secure (ish) parking, small cafe and toilets plus there’s loads of pic nic tables just behind the car park so loads of spaces for sales, work areas etc.

 

also easy enough to get to from the M1 and A6. Makes it more central too making it fairer to the southerners 

 

I’m not into parking up at the side of the road and going off with the Rc, it deffo needs a car park and preferably some benches too.

too far for me, i would just put the fuel money into the good cause

[stretch]

I so want this to happen @Nick

[Nick]

Going to start looking at some dates soon, I think Harden Moor is a good shout as it's near Modelsport so can get a few rallied up from there.
