This weekend, Grasmere is readying for the esteemed 'Cumbrian Challenge,' with over 800 enthusiastic participants keen to support Walking With The Wounded charity.

Organized by the distinguished Armed Forces charity, teams from Sunbelt Rentals, BAE Systems Submarines, DXC Technology, and FDM Group are amongst those tackling Cumbria's rugged Fells.

Now in its 11th year, the event provides critical assistance to veterans and their families through WWTW's mental health, employment, and care coordination schemes.

The illustrious Challenge offers participants one of three different routes, with each step taken raising essential funds to ensure the continuation of veteran support.
