2008 Chatsworth Challenge Walk proves to be another success.
Over £15,000 raised by our walkers and corporate sponsors in this year’s event will go to our nominated charities.
Following on from the success of our 2007 event the Three Peaks Challenge organisers once again took the walk ‘on tour’ to the Chatsworth area of Derbyshire for our twin distance walk which is now firmly established as a favourite with our walkers.
Although our traditional event is walking the ‘three peaks’ in the Yorkshire Dales, the popularity of the ‘on tour’ event in 2007 compelled the organisers to take the walk again to the beautiful countryside around Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.
