‘It’s now or never’ – ‘Elvis Preselis’ marks time to get fit

The Preseli Walking festival is now in full swing and Sunday 18th May saw the ‘Elvis Preselis’ walk take place in the Preseli Hills. Part of the Preseli Walking Festival supported by PLANED, the walk was also the first of many events forming part of the Celtic 10 x 10 Charity Challenge, a year –long challenge which is aimed at encouraging the people of Pembrokeshire, young and old, fit and not-so-fit, to complete a total of 100 kilometres by participating in a number of designated walking and running events over a ten month period. On most walking events dogs are welcome too!

Sponsored by local firms, Colourprint UK, Milford Haven Port Authority and Signum Designworks, the Celtic 10 x 10 Challenge is aiming to raise money for two nominated charities, locally the Bucketful of Hope Appeal and, nationally, the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.

Rhiannon Ace, main co-ordinator for the Celtic 10 x 10 Charity Challenge said: ‘we hope that both these tremendous events will help persuade the people of Pembrokeshire to get outside and appreciate the wonderful environment we live in whilst at the same time benefitting their own health!’
