    Walking in memory of loved ones...

    Location

    Walk for Myton starts and ends at Warwick Myton Hospice (Myton Lane, Warwick, CV34 6PX).

    Check-in

    Check-in will be in a large red gazebo in the front car park at Warwick Myton Hospice. You won't need to bring anything with you to check-in but please let our lovely volunteers know how much sponsorship money you have managed to raise. This is also where you will collect your walker ID; please use a couple of safety pins to attach this to your top or jacket.

    Parking

    Parking is available at Warwick School, Myton School coach park and the social services. These locations are just a short walk away and there will be signage and volunteers in fluorescent tabards who will direct you to the hospice.

    Safety

    If there are any incidents please call the events team mobile on 07599 752835 and we will ensure somebody gets to you. 

    For serious accidents do not hesitate to ring 999 and then ring the events team to let us know.

    Keep to the paths and away from water's edge when on the canal and be aware of other canal users.

    Please be mindful of other walkers and cyclists who may be using the same route. And when crossing roads always face oncoming traffic, take care and stick to the Green Cross Code.

    The 12 mile route takes you along a footpath through the private grounds of Offchurch Bury where there are often horse riders or cattle - please take extra care along this section.

    Please also make sure you wear sensible footwear and weather appropriate clothing, keep hydrated and use appropriate sunscreen.

    Refreshments

    There will be a BBQ in the garden at Warwick Myton Hospice from 11am to 3pm, along with ice-cream, a bouncy castle, and entertainment! We will also have a Myton selfie stand with some fun props so you can get a photo when you return!

    Facilities

    There will be refreshments and toilets available at Jephson Park for all routes, and at Offchurch village hall for those completing the 12 mile route.

    We are trying to minimise our the use of single use plastics at our events so please can participants bring their own water bottles – there will be opportunities to refill them at Warwick Myton Hospice and the rest stops at Off Church village hall and Jephson Gardens.
  • Help us reach our £10,000 target!


    You can rarely scroll through your Facebook newsfeed without seeing at least one fundraising page and that is because it is one of the most effective, easiest ways of encouraging families, friends and colleagues to sponsor you.

    By setting up a JustGiving page, you can share your fundraising page on social media as little or as often as you want to. Having an online fundraising page also means you do not have to physically collect money after the event, plus Gift Aid is automatically calculated and processed.

    If you haven't already why not set up your online fundraising page through JustGiving with just a few simple clicks.

    Facebook Fundraising


    Please let us know, by emailing the Events Team on events@mytonhospice.org, if you set up a Fundraiser on Facebook; we receive limited information from Facebook which makes it extremely hard for us to link the donation to your fundraising otherwise.
