People taking part in the Keswick to Barrow walk this weekend will be able to keep pushing thanks to three supermarkets.

On Saturday, countless walkers and runners will be tackling the 40-mile route, as well as the 21-mile long Coniston to Barrow stretch.

The local branches of Booths, Tesco and the Co-op are making sure that the participants, including the likes of St Mary's Hospice's team, have enough energy to keep going.

A spokesperson from the charity said: "We have to give a huge thanks to Booths, Tesco and the Co-ops for providing refreshments - they're all wonderful.

"With the sun shining, these treats will make their walk even more enjoyable."

It has become somewhat of an annual tradition for local supermarkets to support the hospice's band of walkers, with the charity describing it as a sign of the 'wonderful community' in the area.
