Wistanstow Finishers List being processed

Wow - that was the fifth year of our little walk.

The usual massive thanks to all connected with the walk, whether entrants, helpers, or business supporters, you are what makes it all worthwhile.

Having dusted off the official 'Results Abacus', calculations are being made and just as soon we think they make sense, the Finishers List will appear.


[A brief apology for some of the technical gremlins that seem to have crept in of late - emails have also recently fallen into the gaping hole. A larger hammer is being sourced. Sorry folks, John.]

Printing Aggravation

We're sorry that there is still a problem for some in trying to print the entry form - we've fiddled with no apparent success but we'll continue to try and find a solution. It's extremely annoying that we've done nothing different from previous years and yet...!

In the meantime, here's a link to the Events List page of the LDWA (Long Distance Walkers Association) website, where you'll find access to the 'Standard Entry Form' from the right-hand side menu.

It's available for everyone to use, you don't need to be a LDWA member, although membership has its benefits. Check out the informative website whilst you're there.

New Wistanstow Challenge Walk beneficiary

As per an earlier post, (and the current South Shropshire Journal dated Aug 5th), to help celebrate our fifth anniversary, we are delighted to announce that the 2011 walk will see us contributing to the funds of the:

Wistanstow Under Fives Playgroup

Printing Problems?

Printing the Entry Form now appears to be causing some people a problem? The sledge hammer will be applied and we will see if it can be fixed. In the meantime, sorry for any inconvenience.

A reminder for LDWA (Long Distance Walkers Association) members that the Standard Entry Form is accepted. If you live in the south Shropshire area, entry forms can often be found in various public locations such as; libraries, Tourist Information Centres etc. If local to Wistanstow, there is always The Smithy Shop*.

Entries are now consistently landing on the mat at Entry HQ (Felhampton) but there is still plenty of room for more willing walkers.

In other news, congratulations (or commiserations) to all those who took part in the Housman Hundred.
