Cheshire Hike

Basic Information
The Cheshire Hike is an annual competition open to all Scouts and Guides in Cheshire. Cheshire Hike is real challenge for all those who take part but with careful planning and good training you can succeed. There will be a real sense of achievement when you complete this special challenge. The hike is split into 4 age categories:
- Junior ( 11 – 12 1/2)
- Intermediate ( 12 1/2 – 14)
- Senior (14 – 16)
- Senior Plus (16-18)
The Hike is a big challenge! Everyone who completes the hike is a winner and will receive a Cheshire Hike Certificate and special Hike Neckerchief.
There will also be trophies and medals for the highest scoring teams in each category from each district, as well as overall winners. For those who’ve never entered the hike before, there is a special trophy for the highest Scout scoring Junior team.
However to prepare for this competition, participants will need to take part in some practices to get used to the distances, equipment etc. These are usually run by the Mersey Weaver District Hike team between January and April, this includes a cold camp which will be located in a different part of the district each year.
