Blog Developments
As mentioned previously, developments are in progress with the blog and I hope you like the new look. There are still some improvements to make but hopefully the end result will mean quicker access to the information most frequently requested.

Seasons Greetings and changes expected
Three years gone, can you believe it? This blog is a very simple device for trying to provide useful information about the Walk. The only cost is one of time. (Blogger is a free service provided by Google.)
It’s already served a very useful purpose but with limitations. Over the festive period the blog will hopefully undergo a few changes, dependant on varying degrees of head scratching and deciphering of hastily scribbled notes – I really should get out more!

Details of the fourth Wistanstow Walk will appear early in 2010.
In the meantime, the organizers hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year

Wistanstow Walk press call & comments
Presentation of cheque for £700 to Wistanstow Primary School(Pic: ‘The Journal’, edition dated 23 October 2009)
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

Wistanstow Walk 2009
Organiser Phil is left wondering,
was it something he said, or is he using the wrong deodorant?
