Ali, Chris and Stephen are raising money for Eden Rivers Trust
At Eden Rivers Trust, volunteers Chris and Stephen, along with staff member Ali help to look after Eden's rivers and are now running alongside one of them to raise funds for future river and habitat improvement projects! Starting with a climb to the 3054ft summit of Skiddaw, we will run alongside the entire River Caldew as closely as possible from its high headwaters right down to its confluence with the River Eden in Carlisle, a total journey of just over 50km. We will be roadside supported by fellow ERT volunteer Tina, and hopefully joined along the way by some staff members and volunteers, making it a big team effort for the rivers we all care about. If you can spare us a few pounds to cheer us on and help the rivers too, we would really appreciate it! Thank you so much for your support.

With lots of running done and now just over a week to go it’s tapering time! We’re heading into the final week with some gentler running but also lots of stretching by pulling and bashing Himalayan Balsam at various sites across the catchment. Any help with hitting our target or bashing the balsam would be gratefully received!
We’ve been working on building distances individually, as well as having a mini-team social running the Eamont Way from Penrith to Pooley Bridge and back.
We’ve done a recce run to plot and tweak the best route from the summit of Skiddaw down to Millhouse. This helps us work out the timings and check the route for any potential issues, while maintaining the original aim of following the river as closely as possible using footpaths, roads and bridleways. Lots of great little bridge crossings on the Caldew and wonderful scenery!
We would like to say a huge thank you all those who have donated to our fundraising so far! It’s a tremendous flying start and we really appreciate it!
