Peter Welcome, for the Walk Committee, said “This walk is going from strength to strength, and we want to make this the biggest yet. The more walkers we get, the better the reward for the Air Ambulance. It’s not just a walk for local villagers. In the past we have welcomed walkers from across Teesside and the North East and North Yorkshire and hope to see them again this year.
Station Hotel landlady, Barbara Holliday said “I see the walk as one of the highlights of the pub year. Many pub regulars take part, and I am proud of the efforts they put in to see that the walk is a success.”
