From sunset to sunrise, the Dusk Till Dawn Charity Hike around Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world, proved to be a showcase of endurance, team spirit, and purpose.
Over 250 adventurers from across the globe gathered to take on the 32-mile overnight challenge in support of the Nimsdai Foundation. Starting at 9pm and ending at 9am, participants walked through the heart of Dorset.
As the night deepened, the cold intensified, but the hikers braved the chill with unwavering determination, forming new friendships, sharing stories, and encouraging one another with every step.
Every footstep counted, with over 17.5 million steps recorded across the group.
The ultimate reward came in the form of a breathtaking sunrise over the harbour.
The achievement of those taking part was clear: not only had they completed a grueling physical feat, but they had also made a meaningful contribution to a worthy cause.
