The Nebit Hill Challenge 2024

On Sunday  2nd June, The Rotary Club of Alloa (RCA) is once again organising a sponsored hill walking challenge to enable anyone interested to take the opportunity to connect with their local environment, take part in an interesting activity and raise funds for their organisation.

THE WALK AND ADDITIONAL SUMMIT LOOP
The walk starts and finishes at the carpark at Lodge St Servanus, 5, Ochil Road, Alva, FK12 5JP. The target is  the Beacon on The Nebit, a height of some 250 metres and a total round trip of about 3.5km (2miles); the route follows a path or track. The entire route will be risk assessed by RCA. The walk should take about 1-2 hours to complete for recreational walkers. 
Those who wish a greater challenge can continue their walk from the Beacon to The Nebit summit at a height of 450 metres and a total round trip of 6km (4 miles) and should take approximately 2-3 hours to complete for recreational walkers.

START AND FINISH TIMES 
Walkers can set off at any time between 9.30am and 11.00am. No walkers will be allowed to start after 11.00am. 
Walkers are asked to check-in at the Registration at the start from 9.00am, where each walker will be given a registration wrist band which must be worn by each individual and will be verified at the Beacon (and Summit if applicable) by the marshals. 

MARSHALLING
The walk will be marshalled throughout to ensure no one gets lost or strays from the route. The Ochils Mountain Rescue Team, although not directly involved, will be in the vicinity. Ample mobile communications will ensure speedy response in the event of anyone requiring assistance. Responsibility for ensuring that participants are sufficiently fit to undertake the challenge and suitably dressed for the walk is with the organisation represented by the individual, or with individual adult participants.

YOUNG WALKERS 
Any young person under 16 years of age MUST be supervised and accompanied by responsible adult AT ALL TIMES. They will not be allowed on the hill otherwise.

WATER
Participants should ensure that they have sufficient drinking water to complete the walk.

AFTER THE WALK 
BBQ refreshments will be available at the finish; you may wish to give a donation for your burger. This will be a great opportunity to relax and reminisce about the event.
