On Saturday 10th June 2023, seven employees from Allan Stobart Lubricants & Fuels gathered at Dalemain Estate and Gardens to take on two separate challenges in the hope of raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Society charity. The annual event is the TREK26, which gives the participants two distances to choose from. The TREK26 is a 26-mile circuit which begins and ends at Dalemain Estate and Gardens near Penrith. Alternatively, you can complete the 13-mile route which begins at Patterdale Cricket club and ends at Dalemain too.
Allan Stobart wagon driver Paul Ingleton opted to attempt the 26-mile route, whilst six others decided to form a team to tackle the 13-mile route.
Led by Routing Assistant, Willie Johnston, he was joined by General Manager Steven Hindmarsh, drivers Colin Davidson, David Lamb, and Ian Bouch and Sales & Marketing coordinator Layla Marks.
With Paul setting off at 6.30am, Team Stobarts gathered at Patterdale Cricket Club for a nutritious breakfast and health and safety debrief before commencing the challenge just before 9am. Crossing through footpaths, farmland, and woodlands the group covered the first 6 miles in 2.5 hours before stopping for quick break and refuel in Howtown.

The final 7 miles began around lunchtime in the full glare of the sun. A few blisters and some dodgy tan lines later, the team crossed the finish line and received their medals – and a big cheer from some of their colleagues who had come along to cheer them to the end. Paul finished a few hours later, managing to complete the full 26-mile route without incident. The total so far is £2,904. For more information about the event, please click here.
