The Accuro 50 is a 50-mile, long distance walking route in West Essex conceived to link the whole region, from Loughton to Saffron Walden, where Accuro runs services. The idea of the Accuro 50 is to raise the profile of the charity, and encourage support through challenge sponsorship.

The Accuro 50 challenge walk largely follows the established long distance routes The Forest Way, The Flitch Way, Harcamlow Way and the Saffron Trail and leads you through some of the best walking in the area. The section on the Flitch Way is fully accessible to wheelchairs and buggies so everyone can take part in some way.

The route can be walked in either direction and in sections of any length of your choice.

Highlights:

  • Across both Epping Forest and Hatfield Forest
  • Unspoilt villages and thriving small towns
  • A homage to the Countess of Warwick, Edwardian socialite and socialist
  • Beside the tranquil River Chelmer from Tilty to Thaxted
  • Audley End, one of England’s grandest stately homes

How to get involved

The Accuro 50 Route Guide is the comprehensive guide to the Accuro 50 and includes detailed route guidance with useful alternatives and professionally-drawn maps.

There are historical titbits to enjoy with suggestions for transport, accommodation, food and drink.

The Accuro 50 Route Guide is available to purchase from several local stockists in West Essex:

Raising money for Accuro

The Accuro 50 was devised to promote walking in West Essex, to raise the profile of the charity and to encourage charitable donations to Accuro. The walk follows public routes that can be walked without donating, however if you choose to undertake the Accuro 50 challenge and raise donations, here are some suggestions:

  • Set yourself a clear target – complete the Accuro 50 in three days for example – and encourage friends, family and colleagues to donate. Maybe this could be a commitment to a certain amount per day or mile, or on completion.
  • Create an online fundraising page; these are secure and easy to share by social media, email or WhatsApp. Gift Aid can be collected too. Accuro have set up a campaign page for the Accuro 50 on the fundraising platform ‘Give as You Live’ which you can link to your own fundraising page on the platform. Find the campaign at: Accuro 50 Campaign Page link
  • Businesses and organisations can agree to donate a specific sum on successful completion of the Accuro 50 by individuals or a team, or by match funding donations.
  • If you don’t want to take on the full distance why not consider a team relay?

Most people will walk the Accuro 50 in small groups; some may do so individually. Because of the nature of many of the paths, it is not a route suitable for very large groups of more than about 20.
