The 2012 Annual Long Distance Walk

The John Corner Memorial Walk - The Cleveland Way

Congratulations to all our valiant walkers! Though we had some testing weather at times, and certainly some challenging hills to climb, I think we all enjoyed it. Now it's time to tackle your sponsors - you have a great story to tell...

Stave Davis took a lot of excellent photos, which you can see by clicking here.

The photo below (from the Geograph website) was taken near Urra Moor, the highest point on the Cleveland Way. We passed Lingrow Cliffs, the second picture below, on the last day of the walk, before reaching Whitby.

Helmsley, the start

Why walk?


For the past 15 years St. Luke’s Hospice has organised an annual sponsored walk and on average over £60,000 each year has been raised by walkers, with a total now in excess of £1million! This significant amount has gone a good way towards the maintenance of the invaluable clinical services for our patients.


Five good reasons for joining a walk ......

Fun........ the walks are fun, a lot of laughter and enjoyment is had along the way
Fitness........ they have proved a good way of getting fit and maintaining a fitness regime
Friendship........ lasting friendships have been forged and people have been helped and supported in a personal way as they walk along
Fulfilment........ of a personal challenge, a walk you have always wanted to do

.........but most importantly

Fundraise........ for your local hospice, to help the people whose illness needs the excellent care that St. Luke’s can provide. You can make a difference.
