EVENT BROCHURE

In support of The Lambrook Foundation.

The inaugural London to Lambrook Walk will bring our community together for an unforgettable adventure - exploring the sights of our beautiful capital city, getting active, and strengthening friendships, all while raising money for our school charity partners. This epic challenge offers four distance options, so you can choose the one that suits you best. The adventure begins at midnight on Saturday, 20 September, and goes into Sunday, 21 September, with all routes ending at Lambrook School. There really is a route for everyone.

    The TFA Team will meet participants. There will be access to a lounge area with a bar and toilets. Cars/minibuses can drop off outside the hotel's main reception.

    TFA will provide bag labels that can be placed in the support vehicles.

    Walkers are to bring a packed lunch for the next day, which will be carried in the support vehicle.

  • The Route

    Starts at The Primo Bar, Park Plaza Hotel, London. This 55 km route is mostly flat, with a total elevation gain of 226 m. You’ll walk on various surfaces, including pavements, river paths, walking trails, country lanes, park paths, and woodland. A good pair of comfortable walking shoes/boots with good ankle support is a must for the varied terrain, and it will be a huge benefit if you wear them before the big day!

    Duration
    This event is not a race; everyone should be able to walk at a comfortable pace. The 55 km should take approximately 11 to 12 hours, but some walkers may take up to 13 hours.

    How fit do I need to be?
    The route distance is challenging but achievable for most people if they train well in advance. A training guide is available to help you prepare. 

    What will I need to carry?
    We recommend carrying only the essentials, such as waterproofs, layers, water (a minimum of 2 litres), a mobile phone, and any necessary medication. Regular checkpoints will be available (every 5 km). Check the kit list to confirm everything you will need. 

    Ensure you have trained with your backpack, carrying everything necessary, so that you are accustomed to walking with your pack at full weight.

    What support will there be along the route?
    Team members will be spread along the route, with a back marker at the rear. The route will be available via a digital online map, and marshals will be positioned every 8 km and at any more complex sections. There will also be staffed rest stops along the route, where we will be available to provide assistance and plenty of encouragement. Refreshments, water refill stations, first aid support, and toilets will be provided at all rest stops.

    Kit List
    Download our kit list, which you can check off when packing for the trek. We also have some top tips on how to find the best gear for you. 

  • Is there an age requirement?
    We welcome everyone to take part.
    If you are under 18, you will need an adult to participate with you and accompany you throughout the event.

    What will I be eating?
    We provide food, hot drinks, and water refill stations for every participant in the event. We plan these rest stops every 5 miles to ensure our walkers are fully supported. Other food stops are as follows:

    • The start line - A selection of snacks, hot drinks, and water refill stations.

    • Rest stops - A selection of snack bars, chocolate, fruit, crisps, hot drinks, and water refill stations.

    • Breakfast - A selection of porridge pots, snack bars, chocolate, fruit, crisps, hot drinks, and water refill stations.

    What are the toilet facilities?
    Toilet facilities will be available at the start and finish, as well as at each rest stop along the route. Also a mobile toilet facility will be available.

    What if the weather is bad?
    The Great British weather can be unpredictable, so it's essential to check the kit list and come prepared for all types of weather. In cases of extreme weather, such as thunderstorms, very high temperatures, and extreme rainfall, we will check the route and may have to stop the event if it is deemed unsafe and cannot be rerouted.

    Can a friend who isn’t signed up walk with me?
    No, we’re afraid not. Everyone taking part needs to be fully registered. 

    Can I bring my dog?
    They are welcome to be at the event but must be kept on a lead at all times, and the person looking after them is responsible for cleaning up any mess. 

    What time does the walk start?
    Arrival times for the walk are as follows:

  • Whatever distance you have chosen to walk, we would say first and foremost, you should wear well-fitting, waterproof, and comfortable shoes.

    As most of the walking is on pavements and tarmac, we would say a shoe that has good cushioning, but do bring blister plasters if you suffer from them.

    Backpack and Comfort

    • Rucksack: for carrying waterproofs and any other spare clothing, such as socks, there are food and water stops (every 8km), so only take a few essentials.

    • Walking Poles: If you prefer to walk with them

    • Waterproof Jacket and Trousers: Essential for protection against rain and wind. We will provide kit advice based on the weather the week before.

    • Walking Socks: Merino wool socks are recommended for long walks.

    • Hats and Gloves: For warmth, September can be a mixed month!

    Navigation and Safety

    • Map: On a phone, click the links in the route pages above

    • Head Torch: With spare batteries for illuminating the path ahead.

    • Communication: Fully Charged Phone. Charging points will be available at checkpoints

    Food and Hydration

    • Water: Carry 1 litre of water in a bottle.

    • Energy Snacks: Dried fruit, chocolate, to keep your energy levels up.
