Please note that due to COVID restrictions, the Charity walk has now been re-scheduled to the following dates:

18th May start from St Bees, Cumbria

1st June finish at St Catherine's Hospice, Scarborough.

My name is Adrian Luty and I will be completing the above walk (Covid permitting) in memory of my late wife who sadly passed away last November after a two Year battle with Cancer aged 44 Years.

As is the tradition of the C2C walk, I will carry a pebble for Debbie, from St Bee’s in Cumbria to Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire, a total of 190 Miles. Moreover, and as a promise I made, I will carry an extra pebble for St Catherine’s Hospice and add one extra day to the whole walk to finish at the Hospice in Scarborough. Total 202 Miles

St Catherine’s looked after and nursed Debbie through her last 6 Weeks of Life, something I will never be able to thank them enough for. Indeed they looked after us both, allowing me to stay with and be by Debbie’s side for the whole time. 

I can not describe how we would have coped without this. The Hospice and all its staff were just so incredibly compassionate, loving and caring. We are so lucky to have this facility in Scarborough and the work they do, both in the Hospice and Community is so incredibly special and amazing.

Their work is only 33% funded by the NHS and so they operate and rely heavily on their Charity status. I know we all face difficult times at the moment and you will know that many charities are struggling, but that makes it even more important to help support and raise funds to provide and maintain this vital Community Service. 

So my hope is you can support this Charity Walk and St Catherine’s in one of the following ways:

• Direct Sponsorship / Donation. Using this Just Giving Page. OR:
1. Many have asked to join me for part of the walk or days and especially the last day from Robin Hoods Bay to the Hospice. I would be proud to Walk any part with anyone, but of course this will depend on restrictions due to the Pandemic. I have made available the walking schedule and ways people can contact me. If anyone can join me then please let me know You might want to consider getting yourself sponsored and you can either use this Just Giving Page or see the Website for a sponsorship form.  


2. Given the likely Pandemic restrictions, then perhaps you my want to become a virtual Walker. Pick one or more of my days and instead Walk locally, again all I would ask is that you do as above and get yourself sponsored. 

Any of the above would give me so much support each day and collectively we could make a real difference.

IMPORTANT: Any activities including my walk should only be undertaken within the current Safety Guidance for the Pandemic.

Those who may wish and be able to join me on the walk, please remember the walks are mostly remote and conditions can at times be difficult. Because of this please ensure you have the right equipment, food and liquids to do this safely.

Finally, Can I personally thank Steve Tomlinson, my dear friend for his help in organising this walk and his offer to join and guide me along the way. More importantly I wish to thank you for your time to read this and I hope that together we can raise some much needed funds for what is a truly amazing and worthwhile Charity and cause.

Thank you.

Adrian Luty
