Hucknall Rotary brave the Fright Hike

At the beginning of November, Ian, Neil, Ashley and Phil took part in Fright Hike, a brand new challenge involving a 30km walk through Sherwood Forest in the dark. Not only did Ian and his team have to complete the challenge in less than 6 hours but they had to brave the spooky woods!

Why did you decide to take part in Fright Hike Ian?

I liked the concept when I saw it and it was relatively local.

Had you ever done anything like this before?

I did a 16 mile (flat) walk about 18 months ago.

How much training did you do before the event?

I did several walks of 9-12 miles a week.

What was the best bit of the whole experience?

The finish!!  It was fantastic knowing that we had succeeded in completing the challenge and raising funds for Theodora Children’s Trust. It was also great working together as a team to get everyone across the finishing line. 

Were there any surprises?

I didn’t experience any frights…!

What was the most challenging element?

The last four miles were really tough for me personally.

How did you raise your sponsorship?

Through Just Giving mostly but we also received some cash pledges from friends.

Would you take part in something like this again?

Possibly…haha!!

What would be your advice to next year’s participants?

Be part of a team and enjoy…
