About Carolyn Barnie

Profile picture

My sister and I have completed this walk every year since 2022. In fact, we do DOUBLE the distance as she lives near the 'Start' and so after the event, we walk back again... and all before 7:00am in the morning! We actually set off just before sunrise at 4:00am - yes in the dark!!! - walking into the light!  This year my husband has also signed up to join us.

It is a great time to walk, catch up and raise money for a very serious cause - shining a light on the vital work of Guernsey Mind in suicide prevention and care..

The 5km route follows the east coast from Vale Castle to the Bathing Pools. The walk is not a race, but a space to walk at your own pace, reflect and remember. This year’s walk falls on the summer solstice — the longest day of the year.

If you would like to sponsor us, please feel free!
