���Walk the Line��� Challenge in support
of the DWMRT ��� June 22nd
Up to 400 brave souls will take to the mountains on the
summer solstice to raise much-needed funds for the
Dublin and Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team (DWMRT).
Walk the Line (WTL) which is proudly supported by
���Great Outdoors��� will see participants run/walk across the
stunning mountains in Glendalough. The event starts in the
afternoon from the Brockagh Resource Centre and will run
into darkness enabling participants to catch the sunset on a
summer solstice evening.
Two challenges are available:
Rescue Navigation Team Challenge is limited to 100
participants, individuals or teams of 2-4 of which at
least 1 must be a competent navigator (6-8 hrs).
Rescue Trail Challenge is a challenging 25km route designed for people who just love the great outdoors. See
