Lymington Remembrance Walk

Lymington Remembrance Walk A page dedicated to the Lymington Remembrance walk The Lymington Remembrance, or Poppy walk started in 2020. for the 11am service.

Due to the Covid19 pandemic, many remembrance day events up and down the country, including the one in Lymington, were severely restricted. I decided that year, rather than just pitching up at the memorial with one or two others, I would visit as many memorials in the area as possible, whilst at the same time raising money for veterans charities, The RBL and the Pilgrim Bandits. Starting at Milfor

d memorial hospital and visiting Keyhaven, St Mark's Pennington, Boldre memorial hall, South Baddesley memorial, eventually arriving at Lymington memorial. That first year raised almost £500..... So on to 2021, should I do it again ? One or two asked were I doing it again and if so, could they join in and come along.... and there the idea was born, to include up to 20 walkers and make it happen. That year 2021 we also extended the walk to include Boldre Church, making it a a nice round number of 21kms in 2021.... Nice and uniform lol.... With a little bit of publicity, our walk attracted the attention of both BBC Radio Solent and BBC South news, with a great piece on the radio and BBC news coverage and interviews with some of our walkers on the day, instantly making 1 or 2 local characters famous lol..... The fundraising that year achieved a remarkable £4600....all of which was added to the Lymington poppy appeal total and helping it reach a record £26000 plus....So, on to 2022 and yes we're did it again.... We increased the number of walkers to a just under 30 and shared the £4000 raised with Scotty's Little Soldiers as well as the poppy appeal...For our 2023 walk due to a suggestion from one of our walkers, we added another stop to our route, the memorial at Lymington Hospital. Glad to say that donations were once again brilliant, raising over £4300 which all went to Scotty's.....and....here we are, still here in 2024... which saw us raise a magnificent £5595.....This year, 2025 we aim to push through £20k over the 6 years we've been walking. Thanks for reading this... and a huge thank you to everyone in the community who supports our walk... Lest We Forget.
