A group of family and friends from Dewsbury covered a two-day route including Batley, Birstall, Birkenshaw, Cleckheaton, Scholes, Brighouse, Bradley Roundabout, Huddersfield Town Football Club and Mirfield to raise funds for charity.

The group, which included the husband (Jason) and sons (Elliott and Lucas) of Natalie Audsley, who passed away aged 45, took on the fundraising challenge to raise money for Kirkwood Hospice by walking 50 miles across Friday and Saturday, August 9 and 10.

The first day of walking took the group through Batley, Birstall, Birkenshaw, Cleckheaton, Scholes, Brighouse, Bradley Roundabout, Huddersfield Town Football Club and Mirfield, starting and ending at the Shepherd’s Boy pub in Dewsbury.

The second day saw them complete two laps of a route through Thornhill Lees, Ossett, Earlsheaton, again starting and ending at the Shepherd’s Boy pub.

The walkers wore matching t-shirts which had been specially printed for the day with a rainbow on the sleeve, and were also treated to a tour of Huddersfield Town Football Club on the first day.

A presentation event is due to take place at the Shepherd’s Boy pub which will feature a raffle and live music and where the group will find out their fundraising total to be given to Kirkwood Hospice.

Here is a selection of images of the group at various stages of the two-day walk.
