The adventure starts on Saturday morning at Padstow Church, where you will embark upon the first leg of your journey. As you leave Padstow you will be treated to spectacular views back across the famous harbour town, before making your way towards St. Breock and the ancient monolithic landmark.
The first day of trekking ends at the 16 mile mark, where we will set up camp at Mena Farm campsite’s idyllic wild meadows and unwind around the firepit.
Join us for a weekend of walking and camping in September!
Sunday morning takes you to the windswept heights of Helman Tor, where you can view the north and south coasts of our beautiful county. As you head down towards Golant, the banks of the river Fowey will lead you to the finish of the iconic Saint’s Way at Readymoney cove in Fowey, where a medal will be waiting for you!
Meet us at our furniture store in St. Austell to park your car for the weekend and catch our shuttle bus to the start line. Leave your overnight bags and tents with us and they will be waiting for you at the campsite on Saturday afternoon.
Breakfast and packed lunch on Sunday will be provided. Mena Farm have a range of catering vans that come and visit them throughout the summer (did someone say cocktails?!) – not to mention having Lanivet fish & chip shop and pub as neighbours – so you have all the means to purchase your evening meal on Saturday night, you’ll have earned a treat!
Of course you can! 28 miles may sound like a lot, but split over two days with a relaxing night in Mena Farm’s wild meadows in between, you’ll be enjoying an ice cream in Readymoney cove before you know it!
You’ll be surprised how quickly you can make up £250 with simply the generosity of friends and family on JustGiving! Bake sales, quizzes and bingo nights are also fun ways to raise money – if you need collecting tins or help advertising your event, then let us know!
We have a team of dedicated fundraisers here to help you with any ideas you may have, please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns – you’ll have smashed your target and more in no time!
We will be with you every step of the way from registration to the finish line. In just a few simple steps you will be on your way to being part of #TeamCHC
For both children’s tickets and the self-fund option for adults, there is no minimum required sponsorship, but any amount of fundraising you can do would go a long way in helping to support our Cornish charity.
It is also important to note that Mena’s wild meadows are for tents only, if you wish to take a motorhome or book one of their glamping pods, then this will need to be organised with them separately.
Send an email with how many are in your party to alewis@cornwallhospice.co.uk to request a tent.
Overnight kit:
However, if you don’t trust yourself to follow route instructions and would rather walk in a supervised group, we will have an option to walk with a volunteer guide who will make sure you’re at camp in time for tea!
