Round the Hills
The community walk that has crossed these hills every year since 1966. Tessa's 60 miles are built from its two routes, and she joins the main walk at dawn.
About the walk

Why it matters
This challenge is about more than miles
Mountain rescue is there on the worst night of somebody's life, for free, staffed entirely by volunteers who leave their beds to go and find a stranger. Sixty miles is a small thing to give back.
Community
A valley turning out for one of its own, and for the team that turns out for all of us.
Endurance
Sixty miles is a long way to ask of a body. Watching someone do it changes what you think is possible.
Making a difference
Every pound funds the kit, training and callouts that bring people down off the hills alive.
