This wonderful experience will take you along the Jurassic Coast. The trek stretches over 95 miles from Orcombe Point at Exmouth, East Devon to Old Harry Rocks at Studland, Dorset.

It is just one of many wonderful walks along the Southwest Coast Path trail, which covers a 630-mile route around the coastline of the Southwest peninsula.

Join in with friends or make some new ones along the way.

This challenge can be undertaken by fit walkers aged 18+ (or 16+ if accompanied by an adult). You must be at a good level of fitness, able to self-manage (e.g. you know how to keep hydrated, nourished, warm and dry), be in good health and have oodles of determination and a positive and flexible can-do attitude.

Push It For Primrose

‘Push it for Primrose’ is a cheeky little campaign designed to help push you that little further. We are asking local athletes or sporting enthusiasts to go that extra mile and push themselves just that little bit more in aid of The Primrose Foundation.  Or maybe you’re just starting out with exercise and could do with some motivation.

Whatever your starting point, we would love to see you turn that hobby into a challenge for charity.

‘Push it for Primrose’ is a shout out to all those running, walking, swimming, cycling, sailing and more to push themselves that little bit further; to set a new target not only for yourselves but for us too.

Set that new target and ask those around you to support you in your challenge. We are only asking for a gentle push - perhaps if you usually run 8 miles then run a further 2. If you tend to cycle 12 miles, why not make that 15 miles instead.

Plan a new route and keep it interesting - perhaps that route could be in the shape of a ‘P’ for Primrose or how about considering the number 25 as it is our 25th Anniversary.  Mix it up and keep it fun.

You could set up a JustGiving, Virgin Money or Facebook fundraising page which could then be shared with those who wish to cheer you on. Fundraising really couldn’t be simpler.

For more tips on how to maximise your fundraiser or to download our FREE fundraising material please click below.

Good luck on reaching that target.
