Wistanstow 2012 thanks

As is customary, we have a list of people and businesses to thank.

To the tiny band of helpers who turn out every September to ensure that those taking part get to enjoy their walk – grateful thanks. Comments about your enthusiasm and support are frequent. It’s no secret that a few more people on the ground would help considerably – please get in touch if you’d like details of the simple jobs that can make such a difference to the day.

To the landowners along the route and the Firefighters of Clun and Bishop’s Castle who allow us to share their stations for a day – thanks for your cooperation and support.

A number of local businesses provide help and support in a variety of different ways:

  • The Outdoor Depot, Church Stretton (present at the Village Hall)
  • Spar Shop, Craven Arms
  • Woods Brewery, Wistanstow
  • Britpart Ltd, Craven Arms
  • The Plough Inn, Wistanstow
  • Wenlock Water, Wolverton
  • Hagley Place Care Home (Barchester Healthcare), Ludlow
  • Walls Butchers, Craven Arms
  • Route 49 Fish and Chips, Craven Arms
(Links where available are on the right-hand side of this page)

Should you ever find yourself making use of any of them, I’m sure a personal thank you would go a long way.

Last but by no means least, a thank you to Al Tye who was out and about with his camera, trying to avoid the fog - check out the results on his site; Fell Running Pictures. And to Peter Douglas (www.prdouglas.co.uk), who likewise attended the event but this time armed with a video camera.
