A FIVE mile walk will be led by Ilkley Soroptimists in March signifying the distance women and girls walk in their daily quest for water in the world’s poorest countries.

Participants will set off from Ilkley Old Bridge at 9.30am on March 4 on the walk as part of the Walk in her Shoes campaign, organised by charity CARE International.

This is a free event to enjoy a walk and a chat.
