UoN Ramsoc- Dark Peak Marathon

We are the University of Nottingham Rambling and Hiking club. We are running our annual Dark Peak Marathon (DPM) in the peak district which is either a 24 mile or 37 mile treck completed in one day, pushing our members beyond their comfort zones. This year's DPM will be a sponsored event, raising vital funds for the Duddon and Furness mountain rescue team and their permanent base. Other mountain rescue teams based in the Lake District have assisted in the training of our club's walk leaders so this is our way of giving back. We feel that if the money we raise goes towards the Duddon and Furness team it could go a long way to helping with the construction of a permanent base that is fit for purpose.
