AN INTREPID group of parents, friends and nursery staff are planning to walk 32 miles in aid of Tarvin Preschool.

The 24-strong team is aiming to complete the distance in one day with six other team members providing support along the route.

There are four stops planned for team members to drink, eat and rest.

The walkers will set off on Saturday, July 17, at 5am from the Sandstone Trail in Whitchurch, continuing through Bickerton, Willington and Delamere Forest. The route will then pick up the Baker Way which passes through Tarvin, where the group will finish.

Organiser Tim Bird said: “The nursery provides day care during term time plus a holiday club but relies on fundraising to ensure its survival.

“Each member of the team will be collecting individual donations from family, friends and work.

“We would then hope to receive central donations supporting us as a team. We will also be aiming to achieve match-funding where we can.”
