Another year done. Our eighth and once more we were blessed with good walking weather and lots of smiles. The Wistanstow Challenge Walk abacus as morphed into the Tour des Marches abacus and Phil and I have put it to good use once more. For those interested in such things, the Finishers List is now up on the relevant page (see above). Do visit the bottom of the list where you'll find some words from our Commander-in-Chief, Phil; commenting on the Finishers List and the day.
Lots of lovely comments (were and are still being received), often relating to our wonderful helpers. We praise them every year but only because they deserve it. Without them there is no event for around 150 walkers and runners, and no money being donated to our worthy causes. A few more would help the day be a touch less stressful for us organisers.
Words and pictures are expected to be in the local press (South Shropshire Journal and Ludlow Advertiser) in coming weeks.
Anyway, here goes. Our grateful thanks to:

(If you visit any of the above, a word of thanks would go a long way)
The ladies of the Village Hall Committee who
baked such nice cakes, our super volunteers, the landowners on route and the
Firefighters at Clun and Bishop’s Castle for their support and assistance.
(My apologies if I've missed anyone out. Do get in touch and I'd be delighted to put it right.)

Another great day - this is such a well organised and enjoyable event, and the second time for me. Big thanks to all who organised and helped in any way - the lovely people at all the checkpoints made all the difference.
