  • About

Thank you for registering to participate in this year's Samaritans National Walk on Saturday 27th September hosted by Samaritans of Cornwall at Truro

You have chosen to register for part of the The Pilgrim and Pilchard’s Route: Mount’s Bay and The Lizard - this section runs from Porthcurno to Falmouth. This 71 mile stretch of winding coastline encompasses the entirety of Mount’s Bay with its rich history of fishing and of Celtic pilgrimage. Next onto and around The Lizard peninsula; where we pass the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain, tranquil fishing villages, the treacherous and infamous Manacles and across the magical Helford Estuary to finish at Falmouth. 

There is a one off registration fee of £25.00.

You then have the opportunity to raise funds for the Truro branch who are organising the walk or a local charity of your choice. The Truro branch of the Samaritans is responding to over 20,000 calls for help each year via phone and email.There is also significant activity to raise awareness of the charity to hundreds of thousands of people across Cornwall through proactive awareness and preventative work within our community. We receive no government funding, so must raise significant funds each year to keep doing this vital work. Whilst there is no official minimum target for fund raising, we're hoping each walker can raise over £100 in order to reach our goals.

We will work with you to find a section of this route which is suitable for you. More details will follow as we finalise this event and you will be kept fully informed once you register.  An organiser will contact you using your email address given on registration.

Shortly after registering, you will receive an email from the Truro team asking how much of the route you would be able to walk. Once we have a good number registered for each route we will allocate individuals to the walks in groups of at least 3. The routes range from 5 miles to 12 miles in length with some in between.
