Details have been announced of the next overseas sponsored walk for local charities in Deal and Hastings.
The Stroll for St Michaels and Martha – is a three day overseas sponsored walk which raises funds for St Michaels Hospice and Martha Trust.
Boulogne to Le Touquet is the 5th sponsored walk overseas for St Michaels Hospice and 2008 will be the third time that funds have also been raised for Martha Trust. This year the walk takes in some stunning countryside as it wends its way along the coastal footpath between Boulogne and Le Touquet.
The walk will cover some beautiful French countryside and pass many places of historic interest en route. There are also a number of refreshment stops along the route and the overnight base will provide ample opportunities to sample the local cuisine.
The event is perfect for people of all ages and families are welcome to participate. The route is primarily flat and with a longest day mileage of around 15 miles, only a basic minimum level of fitness would be required.
If you can raise the minimum amount in sponsorship, your place on the Stroll is fully funded.
Martin Burke, from Diligence sister company Nice Work, says: “This is now a really popular event and as well as being a great weekend away, it’s a superb opportunity to demonstrate support for both St Michaels Hospice and Martha Trust in a healthy and fun way.”
The Stroll takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend with a coach departure from Hastings and Dover on Saturday morning – returning to the towns on Monday evening.
In addition to the coach, back-up vehicles will also carry basic first aid facilities and refreshments will be available at regular stops along the way. All meals, accommodation and refreshments for the duration of the walk are provided.

Strollers rack up a half century!
The 4th Stroll for St Michaels – the annual three day sponsored walk to raise funds for St Michael’s Hospice – has attracted its 50th participant!
The walk has raised over £10,000 over the last three years and the organisers, Peasmarsh-based event management company Nice Work are confident that this year’s event will be the biggest – and best – ever.
Organiser Martin Burke says “With our 50th person now signing up, we’re confident that this is going to be a bumper year for Strollers – but we’ve still got a few places left if anybody else cares to join us. This is now a really popular event and as well as being a great weekend away, is a superb opportunity to demonstrate support for St Michaels Hospice in a healthy and fun way. This year is also very special – because its our first time in Belgium with a unique opportunity to sample the sights and sounds of Bruges”
This year the Stroll coincides with the Pageant of the Golden Tree in Bruges’ historic centre. The pageant only takes place every four years and this colourful spectacle, with almost 2,000 participants and floats will parade through the streets of Bruges.
Walkers of all ages – from youngsters to the more mature – will be covering some of the most beautiful Flanders countryside and take in many places of historic interest en route. There are also a number of refreshment stops along the route and the overnight base in the centre of Bruges will provide ample opportunities to sample the local cuisine.
The route is primarily flat and with a longest day mileage of around 15 miles, only a basic minimum level of fitness would be required and if you can raise the minimum amount in sponsorship, your place on the Stroll is fully funded.

The Stroll covers some of the beautiful Flanders countryside, taking in many places of historic interest, with a number of museums and places of interest for participants en route.

Organiser Martin Burke from Peasmarsh-based event company Nice Work says “This is our 4th Stroll – and it is proving by far our most popular and only a few places now remain. I would urge those who are considering joining us to ensure that their places are reseved. The walk has once again attracted families as well as individuals with our youngest walker aged just 11 years old.”
