The Organisers are grateful to everyone involved with the Walk for making it such a success and helping to support the two beneficiaries; Wistanstow Primary School and the Fire Fighters Charity.

The 26-mile (42km) walk (runners welcome) starts at Wistanstow and makes its way to Clun via; Edgton, Kempton and Clunton. From Clun, the walkers head north via Acton to Bishop’s Castle. The route then heads east passing through Eyton and Edgton on the return to Wistanstow. (Retirees are transported back to the start.)

The Walk provides a lovely tour of the beautiful south-west Shropshire countryside, but don’t just take our word for it; witness these written comments from the 2009 event (Saturday 12th September).


‘Great route, great organization, lovely helpers.’ AC

‘…thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable event.’ TE

‘Many thanks to all your helpers/family, for the kind encouragement and fantastic food at the finish.’ RW

And from Somerset comes possibly the best compliment we’ve had so far:

‘I have done 14 events this year and I have to say this was the best - in fact it would compete for the title of best ever.’ PC
