The 40th
Scout Border Hike at Gradbach
The
Border Hike is organised by
Gradbach Scout Camp, based
on the western
edge of the Peak
District
National
Park, nestled
in the upper reaches of the Dane
Valley
on the borders of Derbyshire, Cheshire
and Staffordshire.
The Border
Hike is a challenging,
competitive hike for members of
the Scout, Explorer and Guiding
sections of the movement from
all over the British Isles.
The next events will take place
on the weekend of:
Friday 24th to
Sunday 26th September
2021
and then
(provisionally)...
2022 – 23rd to 25th September
2023 – 22nd to 24th September
Run every
September, the ‘incident hike’
format is hugely popular with
the Scouts and Guides as it adds
a number of dimensions to a walk
through some of the most
beautiful countryside in Britain.
The Border Hike is
a weekend event with the actual
competition taking place on the
Saturday. Distances are 8 to 10
miles for the ‘Border Hike’
event and 12 to 14 miles for the
‘John Bradbury Trophy’. 2010
also saw the introduction of the
‘Johanna Knowles Trophy’ for the
highest placed local team from
the High Peak District.
