THE EYEBROOK WALK 2024

Thank you for showing interest n the Eyebrook Walk 2024 which will raise funds for LOROS (50% of income)  and other charities supported by the Rotary Club of Uppingham.  Full details of  the charities that we are supporting this year will be given in the sponsorship form which you will receive on registration.

We don’t make any charge for participation in the event but ask that you either raise sponsorship towards our aims or consider making a donation at the start;  you can print off the form (back to back) and give to any team members or companions. 

Dogs and children are very welcome on the walk although we ask that dogs are kept on the lead within the SSSI; the reservoir managers have particularly asked that you clear up after your dog and only use the waste bins provided by the walk organisers.  The terrain is, in general, push-chair friendly.
 
The walk covers a gentle 5 miles of pathway and minor roads around the beautiful Eyebrook Reservoir initially through a limited access Nature Reserve; much of the perimeter is an SSSI. The reservoir is a major trout fishery, an important habitat for water birds of all types and has a historic connection to the Dambusters who practised over its surface prior to the Dams Raid in 1943.  The walk will start from the lay-by alongside the reservoir below Stoke Dry between 1000 and 1200 on Sunday 18 Aug and should complete by 1400. 

For safety reasons the route lies clockwise round the Eyebrook Reservoir starting from the lay-by on the side of the reservoir at the foot of the hill below Stoke Dry,  GR853963,(what3words – compiler.stuns.spoon).

If you have any other questions about the walk do not hesitate to get in touch by e-mail or at the address below. 
We look forward to seeing you on 18 Aug.
