“I’ve completed the Moonlight Walk at least 7 times over the years and always look forward to the night. Some years specifically in memory of someone I have lost, and others to help raise vital funds for the Hospice. There’s something thrilling about walking the streets at night, when most people are in bed – it’s also a challenge as I am normally in the land of nod at that time too.
The atmosphere is buzzing as you arrive on site, seeing so many others turning out to share the experience. There is a great party atmosphere and a ‘we’re all in this together’ feeling in the air. Last year was exceptional as we took in Lancaster Castle as part of the route for the first time – the views at night were stunning.
This year I’m going to volunteer as a helper so, although not walking, I’m still involved and will feel the vibe. I’ll be based at the Hospice instead, doing my bit to make sure all our wonderful walkers get what they need to make it a truly memorable night for them. You don’t want to miss this event so even if you don’t want to walk, you can still help!”
