The sun shone on Morecambe yesterday for the launch of Eden Project’s The Big Walk and I was on hand as their press and PR photographer to capture the event.

The inevitable ideal spot for a publicity shot, at the Eric Morecambe Statue!

The Big Walk is a journey across the UK, shining a light on people at the heart of communities, and is inviting neighbours everywhere to get together for friendship, food and fun at The Big Lunch on 3 June.

Four teams embark on an epic journey to the heart of their own community, walking home over 18 days. They celebrate and connect community projects every step of the way as they build up an appetite and invite the nation to sign up and join the UK’s biggest community led celebration -The Big Lunch.
