Got nothing planned for Saturday, why not do something amazing this year and join in on the Ashbourne Breast Cancer Walk, 8.5 miles, open to walkers of all ages.
The starting point will be the Carsington Water Visitor Centre, leaving at 2.30pm therefore early arrival is recommended for all walkers, registration is required from all walkers including children – £10 adults and £5 for children. Click here for the registration form.
All the money raised from the 2010 walk will go towards funding for equipment for the Breast Cancer Unit at Royal Derby hospital.
Whilst enjoying this walk there’s plenty to see. Our resident ornithological photographer, (not sure if you can say this) JF-S, went to Carsington Water, especially to see what bird life might be spotted during the big walk – birds include: tufted ducks, great crested grebes, redshanks, lapwings, godwits, barnacle geese and The A52s. They may not be birds, but they will be entertaining everyone with their “tweeting” from about 4.15pm.
p.s – I know the A52s don’t tweet, they sing with manly gusto, but it flowed with the bird theme!

You can still support this event even if you don’t want to do the walk. It’s possible to register on the day at Carsington. As people finish the walk from 4.30pm onwards, there will be a barbeque, a bar and music from several bands close to the car park just north of the Visitor’s Centre.
Thanks to all Parwichians who helped to support this event.
