The weather around 8.30pm was sunny and dry, though cold with a strong brisk wind, set to chill any unprepared walkers.

The fundraising event, now in its sixth year raises lots of money to support the Queenscourt Hospice in its work;

• to give adults with far advanced, progressive and incurable illness the best
• possible specialist palliative care free of charge,
• to foster family centred care at home,
• to promote best practice in palliative care by example and education,
• to collaborate with others in improving end of life care

The evening was stewarded by volunteers from the Southport Meols Rotary Club, with radio communications provided by the volunteers from Southport and District Raynet.
