What a great day, inspirational people everywhere, each with their own individual story. Kim and I feel elated and honoured to be among you all. Still aching, and raised money for a cause very close to our hearts. Ian Watts, Peak District Mighty Hiker

A challenge that pushed me both physically and mentally. I'm not sure what aches the most; my legs or my face from smiling so much! Thank you. Kate, Mighty Hiker

The atmosphere was amazing, we saw so many people encouraging each other and it felt so wholesome. Can’t wait to do my next Mighty Hike. Anastasia, Jurassic Coast Mighty Hiker
