Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service hike for charity
A team of Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service (NFRS) staff are aiming to walk the length of Norfolk in under 24 hours to raise money for charity.
The Hydrant Hike is a challenge being undertaken by all ten members of the service’s Hydrant Team, who will walk the 60-mile journey from Diss in South Norfolk to Wells-next-the-Sea on the north Norfolk coast.
Their endeavour will raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity. The Fire Fighters Charity started during the Second World War to support bereaved families. Now it provides invaluable support to the extensive fire service community of fire staff, former staff, and their families, includes respite, rehabilitation, and physical and mental health treatment and support.
The hike will be taking place on the weekend of Saturday 17 – Sunday 18 May, with the team setting off from Diss (outside the Cappadocia Restaurant on the B1077) at 12 noon on Saturday. They’ll be walking through the night on the route, passing through Wymondham, Dereham and Fakenham, with the final leg of their journey finishing at Wells RNLI Lifeboat Station.
You can donate towards the Hydrant Hike via their Just Giving page.
